An interesting observation across the tech job market: The rise of the "top tier, remote-first, equal pay" companies. These are ones that pay ~$140-170K/yr base for sr engineers, ~$160-240K/yr for staff, plus equity. They are hiring away from FANG... in places like EU & India.
They hire pretty much for the same expectations, skillset and heavyweight interview process as e.g. Google, Meta and others do. BUT they end up paying a lot more at lower-cost regions where Google and others adjust salaries downwards. It really is happening, and happening fast.
I talked with a few people working at these companies. They are typically Series A-E ones. A lot more of their workforce is based outside the US - as in the US it's still harder to hire with this base salary. But they have very strong teams. Everyone is happy with this setup.
I've talked with people who left Google in a smaller location who said: "It's been fantastic. Not only is my salary higher, but my career progression as well. I was stuck at promotion at G, but got promoted here. And the scale I work in is the same, but I have more autonomy."
People asking for examples: Sourcegraph, Vercel, Gatsby, PagerDuty, Datadog, Shopify, Stripe, Twitter, Netlify, Webflow, Zapier, Doist, Bowery, Replit, Wave Money Some sometimes advertise here: <a target="_blank" href="https://pragmatic-engineer.pallet.com/jobs" color="blue">pragmatic-engineer.pallet.com/jobs</a> There are many more. All hard to get into. Do your research!
For subscribers I shared a systematic approach of finding companies like this and a long list of others. <a target="_blank" href="https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/finding-the-next-company?s=w" color="blue">newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/finding-the-…</a>
Others include RevenueCat, CloudKitchens, DuckDuckGo, Discord, Intercom, Lightbend, Noom, Pivotal Labs, TrueLayer and others I probably don't know about. It's a growing group: you just need to look out for them. <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/jeiting/status/1517460348827283458?s=20&t=Y_zv6C8dxLYPzo61IV8JhQ" color="blue">x.com/jeiting/status…</a>
The caveat I warn folks is don't expect it's easy to get into these places. Competition is similar to Big Tech... as is the interview process. Most people I knew who got positions would have likely gotten it at e.g. Meta or Google as well.
