Remove $150k Salary Reference #51

Closed chadwithuhc closed 8 years ago

I believe the $150k remote working salary reference is a quite exaggerated.

Before you go writing this off as a "bitterness" thing, I'd like to say my main problem with it is giving false hope for people looking to break into the field.

Hey Chad, Not only do I personally know people making over $150k as a front-end engineer...I also did myself before starting Frontend Masters. I don't think it gives false hope -- it's a reality that you can. I'll leave it up to Cody to make the final call on this though...

Are they working remotely, anywhere in the world? If you use https://angel.co/salaries with Frontend Developer checked and $150k+, you'll only see jobs listed in SF and NY areas. Most not mentioning remote. It seems fair to claim $110k+.

Remotely in the US, yes. I have personally always been in the Midwest. If you are talking SF or NY the high range is actually well over $300k.
