What is your minimum comfortable level of compensation?

The minimum comfortable level of compensation depends on several factors: experience, region, market rates, and personal expectations. For a senior Go developer, I usually aim for a level that corresponds to the average market rate considering my skills and responsibilities.

For example, if the average salary for a senior Go developer in a region is X, then a comfortable level is X plus a small margin for motivation and covering expenses. It is important that the compensation reflects my contribution and allows me to focus on work without financial stress.
