Lol no. That’s delusional in London, unless you take into account day rate work
85-90k is the upper bound on senior dev salaries, but companies can and will go above that if you have specific skills they need and can't easily recruit for. (I make 6 figures in London, and that's full time and at a software company.)

#82Does anyone know what the take home pay is after tax for a 200k job - a month - after typical rent - in Frisco?
You can go on sites like Zillow or PadMapper and see rental listings. $4,000 seems typical now days for a 1 bedroom or studio. If you really want to slum it or have roommates you can find situations for less but for someone who has grown out of the roommates and frat house life style those options probably aren't appealing.
That said, even with a 4k/mo apartment, you're looking at 4-5k after tax, housing, and retirement savings.

#85I live in Canada and its quite upsetting to see salaries just a skip over the border that are 120K USD for remote positions but they won't even entertain hiring a Canadian, meaning in Canada the remoting range is 55-70 CAD USD. Going above 70K is possible but in my experience those jobs can only be acquired through personal networking in the GTA which is self-defeating because it keeps you tethered to the GTA. Imagin…

#86He may have been better off as a federal government worker, if you include pension and benefits into the equation, which I find discouraging.
His pension, under the current system, would be his "high three" average times 1% times years of service ($133,967 * .01 * 21) = $28,133.

Try applying through triplebyte. Their goal is a candidate blind, pure merit application process. I used them in my last job search, and was super impressed with every step along the way. Low stress, and lots of constant feedback on how to make myself a better candidate.
Triplebyte doesn't support applicants from outside the US.

...and also perhaps not the best way to attract talented staff.
sadly, the people who either can't or won't leave vancouver don't have a lot to choose from. I'm from there and it's really hilarious when people say something like Hootsuite is a "world class" place to work in some IT-related field. Meanwhile Seattle has things like SpaceX in Redmond developing satellites, Boeing jobs, Blue Origin, a number of tech companies that are not amazon, XKL (run by one of the founders of Ci…
No, really. Most tech jobs are not super sexy, and I’m a little irritated that the prevailing opinion seems to be one of looking down your nose at every tech job that isn’t “prestigious”.

I don't think so. If he didn't go into management and the working level was a GS-13, he'd eventually max out at a GS-13, Step 10, which is $133,967 a year in San Francisco. His pension, under the current system, would be his "high three" average times 1% times years of service ($133,967 * .01 * 21) = $28,133.
