At Stream we used to hire for react native quite easily. Nowadays it's impossible to find experienced people who want to work with RN. Don't see that issue on Go, or any of our other SDKs. In case anyone is looking for a lead RN role remote EU or amsterdam: https://getstream.io/careers/job/5714344003/

Impossible to find? You don’t have salary info on that listing and a quick google shows that your salaries are something like half what I’m making as a remote RN engineer. Very unlikely that it’s because of RN.

could be that's the problem, we went up though, not down in rates. think its around 120k base + 120k in equity. how much do you make?

When I googled your company the only results listed total comp under $100k for software engineers. 120k is slightly better than that. Equity is worth zero at private companies unless there is a system in place to sell it, so don't try to claim that is worth anything to most people.

I make around $200k + equity as a Staff Engineer, fully remote, though as my company is also private, equity === 0. I would say I am moderately underpaid in the current market but I'm happy with that tradeoff since my company is fully remote, great work life balance, and I work with great people.

That’s a US salary though, right? So you would expect it to be higher. Granted some companies might pay the same salary regardless of country but in my experience it’s usually adjusted

My company operates globally but is based in the US. We don't adjust salary based on location.

That’s really good!
