I'll ask publicly about it. I've been in tech for a decade and a half, [resume here](https://hire.kerricklong.com). I make $195k base + ~$4k bonus. I only got a COLA raise and there are no higher-level positions at my workplace. But the people are great and the work-life balance

Hi, we work with people with salaries in that range yeah. If you are making over $200K a year, at a top tier tech, you have to look at performance bonuses and stock as well. For example the typical mid level Meta engineer offer is around $330K right now but the base is like $185K and the rest is stock and bonuses At the senior level, the bases are into the $200Ks and TC around $450 to $500K.
We don't guarantee your outcome or any specific base salary but the performance based pricing is $5K upfront and the rest is $0 to $15K extra depending on the INCREASE in BASE salary so some people with high bases coming in choose that option because they don't expect to increase their salary enough to hit the $10K tier and if they do then they made so much money they'll happily pay more.
These numbers are based on bigger cities and many top companies require you to move right now. If you get a remote job, your compensation will be scaled down a bit if you live a lower cost area.
If you DM me more or just apply, we can go over more specific advice based on your more specific details.
