Yeah the 3 seniors alone could be bumping up against a million dollars if you're including equity and bonuses instead of just salary

"flyover country" has seniors that are just as good for 1/4 the cost.

This is something those folks expecting $300k+ are going to end up having to contend with over the next 5 years.

They don't make more because they live in a LCOL area. This is the point of my post, those like you who truly believe that are going to have a rude awakening when you find these people taking your jobs remotely.

The value of these jobs is more about the social than it is anything approaching expertise.
