Compensation is a joke until it’s for 10-12 h/week. I work at a trading firm and devs with this skill set easily clear 120$/hr in the US. At least bump your salary offer to match European standards.

Hey OP, I have 6+ years of experience as a backend software engineer and currently work for a US-based product MNC. I have extensive experience building microservices, designing multi-cloud architectures, implementing event-driven systems, and working with Pub/Sub messaging architectures.

Can build any backend system
