In the US I have noticed that the tier 2/3 tech cities SWE salaries seemed to raise a bit with covid and level off. The Tier 1 tech cities they seem to (outside of AI) have dropped a bit after the covid boom amid massive layoffs. Remote seems to be kind of independent of location but I see some remote places paying more Tier 2/3 level salaries
How do people find jobs in the US?
In the UK you're usually "discovered" by a company's talent team or independent recruiters.
I've had very little to no success with direct applications
In the US you direct apply typically, or you can work with a recruiter who will connect you with jobs. I don't know about being discovered by a talent team, that's never happened to me, maybe for some people.
any recruiters you'd recommend?
