cyrilbenson47on Ask HN: Great candidate but company needs more time to make decision

I was thinking the first one since the founder told me they had a frontend dev from Russia and said they're really "cheap".

I had this in mind on the final interview, but I didn't want to lowball my compensation because of the fact that the position is remote.

cyrilbenson47on Ask HN: I feel sad about my life and job, and do not know what to do

I second this. I started developing just a couple of years early with you, I have ~10 years of experience now. On the first few years, I gained a lot since what I do all day is work eat and sleep.

Explore new things outside of work, which could be hard at first but you'll get better at it once you do it constantly.

cyrilbenson47on My Salary Progression in Tech

Damn! Right now, I'm making $24k as a Full Stack Developer (remote) for a US company with 10yrs. of experience. Now I believe that I'm way underpaid.

cyrilbenson47on Ask HN: Reality for the Average Developer Outside Silicon Valley/Big US Markets?

I'm from SEA (Philippines) and work here remotely under a US consulting company. What I hate is it's like a stigma that because we're from a low-cost country we're paid much lower vs those from the West (around 50-70% less) considering I have the same set of skills for a 10yr Software Engineer. I think it shouldn't matter where you're from as long as you're doing a great job, money shouldn't matter.

cyrilbenson47on Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking Freelancer? (February 2019)

SEEKING WORK, Philippines, remote only.

Full-stack dev with 6 years experience in the industry. Using PHP (Laravel), NodeJS, Angular/React/Vue as my go-to tech stack. Been working on projects related to co-funding, finance/accounting (Quickbooks Integration), a multi-million dollar startup on the drone industry (KittyHawk). Currently learning Python to jump start my ML journery. You can DM me on skype (cyrilbenson47) or at my email @ cyrilbenson47@gmail.com.

cyrilbenson47on Ask HN: How do you negotiate to get $100k/year as a SE?

Philippines, I do work as a remote dev. Yes, we do have flexible hours but I still grind 40hrs/week.

cyrilbenson47on Ask HN: How do you negotiate to get $100k/year as a SE?

I actually think that we're underpaid since we live in a country where labor is cheaper even though we get more and more experience, we can't compete to get the same compensation as to the Western part of the world. How do you negotiate something like a raise that much even though there are these circumstances?

cyrilbenson47on Ask HN: Salary/equity aside, what would your ideal job offer consist of?

Earning more than >= $100k/yr as a remote dev. I'm from the Philippines.
