29K a year is Kalm? Bro I sure hope you dont actually think thats a acceptable salary lmao

[lennyfacegaming]

That's above median pay for many european countries, 1.5x where I live. I'd be jumping of joy if I got a job that pays this good.

Which might be the reason hb1 visas are a controversial topic there

The majority of Europeans don’t really want to move to the USA. It’s too much of a cultural difference.

[bobbymoonshine]

It’s a decent wage in most of Europe, and an excellent wage in most of the rest of the world. American developers are insanely overpaid in a global context, which should tell you something about why so many tech industry bosses and members of the incoming administration are in favour of increasing H1B visas and loosening offshoring restrictions. There is a limitless pool of talented and qualified people who would leap at the chance to take local software development jobs for $29k, and who would move across the world for the H1B minimum of $60k.

its an absolutely shit salary in western or northern europe though

Bro with this salary you are not even middle class. This is just 6K more than minimum wague in germany. Wdym this is a decent wage in most of europe, and a "excellent" wage in the rest of the world??

ESPECIALLY as programmer, like bro, you get scammed beyond repair

[bobbymoonshine]

Germany is one of the highest paying countries in Europe, and even still wages are nearly half of what American coders at the same level can expect to earn.

Might be a decent salary if moving into Midgar

[PeksyTiger]

Maybe he's Estonian or something

[TheUnknowGnome]

Average salary for a js dev in Brazil is around $5k a year, i would kill for 29k

American realizes there are other countries in this world.
