Don't forget us network engineers who want to move abroad :) Would love to see a category for that
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Good point. Actually we thought about adding this info to vacancy pages. However, as our experience shows, many companies are not ready to disclose salary info to the public.
Then how do they plan to hide anything above mediocre? Most good+ engineers I know will not waste time on an interview if they do not know upfront that the company pays a sane wage. Else it is a time waste.
Hello, everyone! It’s Andrew, founder of Relocate.me. In a nutshell, Relocate.me is a one-stop platform for tech professionals who are willing to relocate for work. Since launching Relocate.me on Hacker News over 3 years ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15922401 ), a lot has changed, and I’m excited to finally introduce Relocate.me 3.0 with a batch of new features and enhancements: 1) Learning center ( http…
Also I wonder what the difference in disposable income would be given something like (typical) health insurance, food prices, and housing per state/area

I know that there are state level taxes as well in the US. Can this be included in the calculator? Also I wonder what the difference in disposable income would be given something like (typical) health insurance, food prices, and housing per state/area

Andrew, it would be interesting to hear a bit about the founding story. One question I'd like to ask is how did you acquire the customers in the early days? What was the plan for that and what actually worked?
It helped a lot that I was in this field for almost 5 years before launching Relocate.me. So the first users came through the word of mouth and a Product Hunt campaign.
Moreover, we 'manually' invited software engineers to the platform, those who somehow expressed their interest in moving abroad (haha, this can help - https://relocateme.eu/blog/how-to-source-for-software-develo...)
The annual salary in the calculator goes up to $140,000 for the US. This needs to be way higher if we're talking Bay Area.

Thanks for the feedback! In your opinion, what would be a realistic figure for the Bay Area?
Average for senior engineers is around $200K, upper limit towards $300K.
Why not just make it open to typing in the sum, at least optionally?

Median base salary at google is 149, and there are plenty of offers in the 200-400 range with outliers well above that. From personal experience 140 is on the low range for 3 years experience in the major US tech markets (Seattle, Bay, Austin)
