Ask HN: How to optimize your career for happiness?
I'm mid-thirties working in Software/Data Engineering. I've been working at different companies during the last decade, and currently making ~$120k, and hitting no more than 40h/week.<p>I don't consider myself especially intelligent. Neither I'm dumb. I suffer from imposter syndrome from time to time, especially when I start a new job/challenge. I usually acknowledge these situations and manage to drive them without major problems. I have been in places where I was making way more but the job was boring, in startups where I was learning x10 every single day, I cut my salary to join especially talented teams, I stayed at places that required less than 10h/week while being paid for 40h... Sometimes I have been focused on pursuing a bigger salary, a promotion, or becoming a manager. I successfully accomplish most of these challenges. Every single situation had pros and cons, and none of them made me feel completely full-filled.<p>I thought I had a pretty good work-life balance but lately, I've been through health issues and every single doctor/therapist is pointing out to stress and sedentarism. Due to that, I've been reading some articles where researchers explain how people in tech started to care more about happiness and less about salary. I thought I was already doing that but looks like I've been doing something wrong with my professional career, and there is a path more equilibrated and focused on happiness I should follow.<p>Do you do something special?

Ask HN: Strategies to land fully remote $250k+ job
From my experience most of the companies scouting for developers are trying to minimize costs and using the “fully remote” positions as a mean.<p>I almost never faced an HR ready to discuss salaries higher, than my current “above average” full-time salary in my region (~120-180k).<p>I wonder what should your CV look like and how should you approach the search for companies that can afford expensive developers no matter the geo.<p>If the goal is not worth the effort in the first place — what alternative scalable ways to increase senior programmer’s income can you recommend?<p>Scalable means more or less reproducible in finite timeframe without high risks like in “starting your own startup”.
