I don't know who to believe. Compensation has indeed skyrocketed for remote positions, I can see as much from job ads.
At the same time, I'm participating in hiring for a UK company (for remote or onsite positions that pay nowhere close to Bay Area rates), and we're fighting off people applying, to the point where we can be very picky. These people are very qualified, and still trying to get into positions where you would assume the compensation to be under 70k £ / 100k $ based on public data.
From looking for a remote, well-paying role, I couldn't get a lot of interest despite having an okay resume, in roles where the tech stack is the exact one that I've been using for a while.

So, what is going on?
