Hey I'd be happy to get $70,000 but I'm stuck having to take care of family so I have to stay in the middle of bufu egypt. Trying to find remote consulting gigs but they're hard to find!

Most companies will offer to pay for the relocation of you and your family, along with your home, from Egypt to wherever you want to move.

I don't think "most" is a fair statement.

A more accurate statement would be "Many large silicon valley companies will pay for your relocation if you are an exceptional developer for the price."

GP probably doesn't actually live in Egypt, but was probably referencing the expression "Bumfuck, Egypt", which means out in the middle of nowhere.

Nevertheless, his relo won't be paid for unless he's a God-tier, exceptionally desirable developer.

Relocation for new hires isn't rare. What are you talking about?
