Can you give some examples of the kind of skills you are talking about? I keep hearing this but no one mentions concrete examples.

What industries understand the value of tech?

Would be very surprised to hear any devs in Southeast Asia making that much as tech is undervalued there. Maybe in Finance.

A dev in the UK on $300k? Full time employee? Would love to know the sector and skills.

Finance. Strong knowledge of derivatives trading and trading system. Usually one or more of Java, C++, Python, C#, VBA but generally less important unless they're coding quant models in which case usually need C++.

Yes, fulltime. Only had one part time on that level.
