Lots of engineers. 250k is my base starting point to even have an employment conversation and I’m no 10x unicorn.

I can’t get companies to not find anything above $160k-$180k as jarring.

In my experience if you ask for $200k, you better be ready to do lots of on call, mentoring, hop on any call asked of you anytime, never have conflict with anybody, be super easy for managers to get along with (just shut up and say yes and do it no questions asked)

Kind of not worth it.
