Remote salary headroom? (non US based)

Question

Hey folks,Curious to see what folks are earning if they are working remotely and not located in the US or Canada. Totally fine if you're working for a company located in either of those countries though as long as you don't reside there.I'm asking because as an engineer in the EU I've been consistently hitting a limit of around $200k whilst working for US companies and haven't managed to break through that yet.

$200k is a lot for most positions in the US. The median for a US dev is about $105k. I'm not surprised if you're not seeing positions higher than that.

&pound;100k base, about &pound;175k all-in. Developer-adjacent role. Realistically I can only think of 5 companies globally which would pay this much while also being interested in my niche skillset.

Working for a UK company here, although remotely from another country, making around $90k as a lead engineer in a somewhat specialized field.
Seeing as salaries are constantly rising due to WFH being so common, and with anecdotal data from this thread, I'm feeling I might be underpaid (closing in on 10 years of experience on top of CS diploma and an MSc).
So my side question is, how do you target high paying positions without having to go through a LC type interview in a FAANG company? Recruiters who reach out to me on Linkedin avoid the salary question usually.
