I'm a full stack dev in Canada and I currently make around 80k USD salary adjusted with great benefits. After speaking with a few recruiters for remote work in the US I get the impression that asking 100k USD is lower than expected. From anecdotal experience am I asking too low? I have experience in cloud, DevOps, production, some lead but no Kube yet.

For contract rates how much more do you ask?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Out of curiosity. :-)

I've been learning it for a while now and have fun creating web apps in it, so I was thinking about going freelance (I've grown to like Django more than what I currently do as a freelance developer, it feels like a breeze of fresh air) with it this Summer or for a remote job. Would you say it pays good? Or is it overly saturated? I don't quite believe the 100K+ salaries Glassdoor etc. show you, so I thought where would possibly be a better place to ask this than here?

Thank you in advance!

Edit: Thank you guys, this thread has been incredible helpful to a lot of people, not just me it seems!

I saw this post on r/reactjs and wanted to ask the same for our subreddit

Let's start with some questions:

1. What’s your salary? (before and after tax)

2. What is your Age? (optional)

3. Years of experience?

4. What country are you in? (country, remote/office)
