Learn SugarCRM which is built on PHP; SugarCRM devs are rare, in high demand, and very highly paid (I just hired a full remote sr php dev at 145k with full benes/10% starting bonus).

We’re always looking btw.

That's lowish to mid $$ for a senior dev (at least in the US).

hi

>>evo_9+(OP)
Can I work remotely?

FAANG-level pay is the exception.

>>tomnip+pn
FAANG level pay is well over $200 for a senior, easy. There's plenty of companies offering senior comp in the 150-200 range that aren't faang.

Hello!

>>boredt+CW
Total comp yes, not salary like OP is talking about. Only a handful of companies have total comp that doubles base thanks to RSU and stock, which a vast majority of the worlds ~25MM programmers do not participate in.

>>evo_9+(OP)
How would you learn it though? It seems to no longer be open source as of 2013(?)

>>tomnip+cb2
Nope, I mean base salary not total comp.

>>boredt+TK3
It's amazing how skewed the HN crowd is on developer comp. You'll find that $140-150k is senior range for a vast majority of the U.S. software engineering market.

SugarCRM provides online training but it's not public.

How we train our dev's is to use those courses and to have our current PHP/Sugar dev mentor them on the differences.

>>boredt+x2
Can you share a FAAANG job ad for a PHP guy - fully remote - at $200k or more? I'm genuinely curious if that is a thing.

Or even which of those companies even hire PHP devs anymore?

>>tomnip+fn4
Now you're just moving goalposts. 140k is not "very high" pay for a senior software engineer anywhere in the US.
