I can attest that I was much happier at $80k than I was at $30k, but not much happier at $110k or $140k, less happy at $155k, miserable at $175k (becoming director of engineering). Now I'm at $200k but it's the remote part that makes me happiest.
wow, that's an amazing salary for remote. what company?
The company is Surge, LLC (https://www.surgeforward.com), and they offer developers for hire. It is 1099 contract work with at least 40 hours a week guaranteed.
Just curious, what tech stack do you use?
You get matched to projects based on skill set. I only advertised myself as PHP and Node, so that's what I've been assigned to (75% node/angular/mysql, 25% PHP/angular/mysql).
