I've tried to take many of the ideas I've learned from this community and package them up into a practical product that's VC-fundable. Come join! https://about.val.town/founding-engineer-at-val-town

“Non-remote” in 2023? Surprising!

BV would approve, in 2023 😁

Agreed, it is surprising! Makes folks very upset, which I totally get. Tradeoffs man, tradeoffs as far as the eye can see

I am curious: how did you arrive at $120-150k for the pay range? (Full disclosure: I have no vested interest here, because I am not commuting distance to Brooklyn.)

Does that seem low or high? It's what we have budget for and seems reasonable

The base salary does seem a bit low to me. But there are so many factors that go into such decisions. And, to your advantage, it is a “hirer’s market” compared to most years in tech. Like you say — tradeoffs everywhere!

Totally! Even with the equity?

Salary-wise, the high end of your range would be the low end of what I’d offer in that market. OTOH, as @Joe Grossberg mentioned, there’s a job shortage, so if you’re just looking for warm bodies you’ll probably find one.
