2018 - $66k - Software Engineer. (startup; remote work) Paying around 20% in taxes, but I live in a very low cost area(Central Europe) and my gf has a flat. I have a good quality lifestyle. Unlimited holidays (usually 30 days a year), I work 35h a week, own a new mercedes and can save $25k a year.

2019 - $130k - Software Engineer. (large startup; remote work; 40h/week) (I haven't accepted the offer yet). I have reached the maximum salary that I could get if you normalise for purchasing parity. It's impossible for me to find another job which allow me to save up $70k/year working 40h/week in a low stress environment.
