Why such a low rate?

>>reacto+nl
I'd be curious to hear your benchmarks that give you the impression this is a low rate.

When accounting for total compensation including base salary, benefits, bonuses, 401k programs, time off, and non-monetary benefits like a clean codebase and positive team, we find our total package exceeds most/all comparable offerings on the market (such as those seen on https://larajobs.com/)

>>cdolan+5D
Comparing to Larajobs is comparing yourself to a very narrow slice of the job market which (admittedly based on my limited understanding) is populated by a larger-than-average number of offshore contractors. This likely skews the average compensation package lower compared to other types of roles.

Based on your description, this role seems to be more of a Senior Full Stack Engineer, a title with significantly more responsibility than "Laravel Developer."

Until your clean codebase and positive team can pay my mortgage or other bills, I will not factor them into compensation comparisons.

The national average for a senior full stack engineer, according to Glassdoor, is $160k. You could probably argue that Pittsburgh is a lower-cost area than average, but I still think you're 10-20k low in base salary alone, at bare minimum.
