I've got a client looking to hire five senior engineers in Sydney -- they work in data engineering, but they'll take anyone that's competent and work it out from there. Pay's about A$160K to A$180K + superannuation for someone that nails their interview process. No LeetCode stuff, though there is an online screen that is reportedly at the level of "You weren't lying about programming, right? Can you like, read a CSV and write some SQL?"

Hit me up if you know anyone that'd be interested!

@ludicity ...is that the level of technical expertise needed to earn $160k? I'll be on the next plane, or the one after that 😄

@jackeric Basically yes! Obviously they'll expect a few other things, but my experience recruiting with them so far is that any competent practitioner that cares can bat at the 160K range.

(I think this is also true of the broader market, if you talk to the right people -- 160K + super is actually the lowest salary any candidate I've represented has ever gotten)
