Comment Comment by mariogintili hmm it depends really, I go below and above my "market rate"I've come to learn that your salary as an engineer is more directly tied to your company's success rather than your personal outcomes as an engineer.I've seen people padding buttons for £700/day working for large brandsI've seen people train open weight models for £350/day trying to ship an MVP.The last permanent role I negotiated had a TC of £160,000/year. I'm open to go down to £90,000/year or even less for the right opportunityAs for contract work, my last 3 projects were £600/day, £700/day and £550/day. Again, I can go down for something stable. parent mariogintili 10 months ago
