- I work two full time remote jobs. TC ~750k. AMA I'm going to be intentionally even more vague than I'd normally be on Blind to avoid doxxing myself for obvious reasons.

TC and YOE communicate nothing without context. 200k with 2yoe is impossible in many roles, and (typical?) in others In order for people to know what career moves are most high paying, they need to know how people that post the huge TC values on blind got there. This
