Is my salary fine or should I ask more? I feel like I should ask more.

Would be helpful to hear about your salary and hourly price?

That salary is a gigantic joke and you should immediately start looking elsewhere or be clear that for that salary you expect to work for about 10 - 20 hours a week, flexibly.

If they're suddenly asking you to log your hours, they're looking for a reason to terminate/replace you.

Just curious, why is your blended tax rate 50%

Check out blind and levels.fyi to get a sense for where the industry is at.

Location seems to be a factor for some companies but not for others. It’s best to have multiple offers on hand when deciding.

As a contractor, that's about right when you include healthcare coverage -- in the US, of course.

IME if location is a factor, it's usually a different of 10-15%, so it's not like you're making $200k in SF and $80k in Ohio. More like 200k in SF and 180k in Ohio. YMMV of course.
