Hello Hackers,

I built this webapp over a weekend and launched on May 11 to help (also to impress) my cousins and friends who were obsessed with high paying jobs. As a matter of fact they look for high paying jobs everyday.

Currently, a few thousand websites(including YC Jobs) are crawled to find high paying jobs. That number will go way up in the coming months.

Remarks and suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks

So does this just get to the top because it's mostly focusing on yc jobs?
lucgagan
It gets a boost because it is posted by a YC founder

Love the jobs asking for 6 years experience. I can just hear the HR team saying "See, we go one higher".

C'mon that extra year makes all the difference ;)

I can see is mostly US?
10xjobs
Sorry, Yes just US, IN & AU for now due to limited man hours.

Is there a job board where I can take half salary and work 20hrs? Because I'd do that in a heartbeat (and probably work harder)

Finding a part time dev job is the holy grail. I think free lancing is the only way to do that

Wouldn't something like TopTal or other contractor marketplaces work for you?

Is this US-only? I would love to see something similar for jobs near me.

I filtered for India and saw Infosys in the list which is one of the the lowest paying employers in India.

Not sure how this data is sourced but it's clearly inaccurate.

Also most jobs didn't have a salary so not sure what "high paying" really means.

Are you saying that a company of that size has no high paying jobs. Don't you think it's far-fetched
thevania
would be cool to be able to sort by salary

Thanks for the suggestion. I will add it soon

What about Canada or a remote filter?
CoastalCoder
I found the Remote filter. It's a drop-down on the right-hand side, right above the first search result.

A few thoughts:

Is this US only, are there any in the UK?

Is it free to post a job?

Some of these salaries are wild. TypeScript engineer 200k? Is that the new norm? I might need a new job

Why does most of job search sites always assume that everyone in HN is located in the US? Or worse, in SF? Title should specified where that site serves.

A plurality of visitors to HN are from the US, the next largest source is 10x smaller. This post is during peak US hours. This website is owned and operated by a US based company.

Its not absurd to imagine most post are going to be US focused. In fact it's pretty silly to imagine otherwise.

>A plurality of visitors to HN are from the US

Any source for that claim?

>This post is during peak US hours

And the post will remain in other regions peak hour when they visit it, not to mention it still peak hour for Canada, S.America and even parts of Europe too.

>This website is owned and operated by a US based company.

If you mean the job site, then it should be specified in the title, if you mean HN, then that’s irrelevant.

Appreciate the response, the world and tech are much bigger than the US to assume that, and definitely it isn’t silly to question that narrow mindset.

>And the post will remain in other regions peak hour when they visit it, not to mention it still peak hour for Canada, S.America and even parts of Europe too.

It's not a particularly popular post and probably fell of the front page after a few hours.

>If you mean the job site, then it should be specified in the title, if you mean HN, then that’s irrelevant.

Of course it's relevant. You haven't really made any arguments. The fact is that a post made in the US' morning, on a US website primarily frequented by US techies is not required to cater to random engineers viewing the page at odd hours of the night across the world. Are you also upset that it's not translated into Bantu? God forbid we exclude Tanzanian developers.

Ideally there should be a Remote filter
some_random
There is one but it's in a weird place, the dropdown on the right above the job listings (defaults to All)

Thanks for posting! A little feedback, from an active job seeker:

- Searches for "C++" seem to also match "C#" positions.

- A very useful filter would be: jobs with salary range above $X per year.

- Another helpful filter: employee vs. contract

10xjobs
Thanks for the suggestions.

I will add those features soon.

So these posts are what from indeed.com and other places? Do the companies know that their jobs are being posted here?
enumjorge
Interesting concept but I’d prefer it to be more selective on what counts as a high-paying job. The bottom range is for a lot of these posts. I wouldn’t consider high-paying, when you take into account the number of years of experience they require. Tesla’s ranges are so wide that they provide very little information on what you can expect. The most egregious post had a range of 82 about $150,000 asking for 8+ years of experience.

I made some quick changes. I am working on adding more sites to the crawllist once its done i will work the issues that mentioned

thanks for the feedback.

Looks good! Please add VueJs as a filter
