I worked for an SF company as an IC remotely from Toronto. Total comp was $500k USD yearly. I wasn't the only one, either, and the other guy didn't even have a technical education. He was completely self-taught and just steadily made progress by being humble and curious and hard-working.
Look, I don't really care about money after a certain point. So I'm not trying to encourage people to do stuff for money. What I'm trying to say is that there is a world of software development renumeration that is achievable if you keep developing skill and it is far less challenging than dealing with a C++ codebase.
