Regardless of how many stars the repo has on github, why would you expect someone to learn a library just to take a code challenge for your company when the job spec doesn't even mention this library as a requirement? The recruiter specified that "it should only take 2 hours" to complete the task, while thats absolutely false as I would have to read the whole API etc. Also when I asked for a different challenge in either Vanilla JS or any other of the technologies in the job spec you completely ghosted.

It worked out absolutely fine for me since I got a much better paid job but just warned other people what to expect.

This is something that always discouraged me from applying at your company, even though it sounds amazing. I make 150k at my current position working remotely, but based on your calculator I would only make 80k at Gitlab so almost half. What a joke.

You are missing on a lot of top talent due to this policy.

Ask HN: Can you make 200k as a software engineer outside US?

from the ask-hn dept.

Top level salaries I have seen in Switzerland/London are around 140K CHF or £120k as permanent or 650-700 per day as contractor. That is around 155k USD, which seem a fairly common salary in Bay Area/NYC while it would be a top salary in those 2 markets above. Also the big bonus/shares culture is not as prevalent in Europe.Anyone here making more than that or knows anyone that does?
