without getting too specific, 100k-250k. a bit less than i'd expect to make at FAANG but i live in a chicago suburb where the buying power more than offsets the difference. my drive to work is a traffic-free 10min, as is my wife's.

there's another dev that can handle any emergencies or critical bug fixes while i'm out. still i have to be available by phone in case there are questions, but even then it rarely requires more than a lazy login/check at the end of the day.

These kind of salaries, except fintech in London, don't exist in Europe for developers.

i'm not saying that's what he'll get, just that it will be much better than if he's 1/100 devs in a single company.
