Software is 100% an employees market. Everyone wants coders, and can be hard to pin down good ones. I think software engineers either don't know what they are worth, or are uncomfortable negotiating comp.
And looking for remote jobs that are not US only is fun too.
'We are totally a global company that only works remote. such awesomeness, but yeah, you have to be based in this very specific time zone though' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
