where do you live that you make 275k/yr with 5yrs experience??

I want to know that too :)

Actually, at this point its like 7 years. jeez I am getting old.

I live in the bay area. I think my salary is average for my experience level. https://www.levels.fyi/

I remember when iOS was in single digit versions someone with one year experience got a job with a 200K salary a year in San Francisco, I think this was circa 2010 - (it was a long time ago). He was a self taught programmer who had started his own company that failed.

Needs to be qualified with what location you're in

I don't think location matters that much tbh. I have friends (and coworkers) working remotely in the $180k - $250k ranges. They work for bay area tech companies, but they live on the east coast and midwest USA.

and the company, if they're hiring, and if they allow remote work

Nice, that's more than I ever made in 36 years :D
