Thanks for the feedback! In your opinion, what would be a realistic figure for the Bay Area?
I found this survey: https://www.builtinsf.com/salaries/dev-engineer/senior-softw... 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?
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.

I’ve noticed that projects like this primarily focus on recruiting for software roles (which is understandable if they are shared here), but what are the roadblocks to listing traditional engineering roles (mechanical, electrical, etc). Lack of exposure to those industries (understandable)? Companies not offering relevant positions?

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.
I am reminded of Society of the Spectacle, specifically thesis 165.
165 Capitalist production has unified space, breaking down the boundaries between one society and the next. This unification is at the same time an extensive and intensive process of banalization. Just as the accumulation of commodities mass-produced for the abstract space of the market shattered all regional and legal barriers and all the Medieval corporative restrictions that maintained the quality of craft production, it also undermined the autonomy and quality of places. This homogenizing power is the heavy artillery that has battered down all the walls of China.

I see a bunch of calculator but there's no level bands or numbers for compensation when browsing positions.

Depends on the demographic you are trying to attract on the platform.
I've done a little bit of tech recruiting and I can tell you this: top engineers, no matter the level, get a lot of offer. And they won't hesitate to sort by compensation (unless of course it's SpaceX).
Really, there are two kinds of businesses out there: those that try to make money playing games with compensation and CoL adjustments and those who make money building the best software out there and scaling. The later won't have any problem giving a number: they need the talent right now to scale.

Non-software engineering disciplines tend to involve professional licensing that doesn't necessarily carry over automatically to other countries.
