in reply to Money is not purpose of my life, but...

Well, 1100 euros/month looks like an office cleaner salary to me, not developer... 700 euros? Are you kidding? We're paying 550 euros + food (200€/month) to the summer interns! I'd rather set the bar around 1500/2200/3000€.

update : I just see that you're in Prague. Looks like western Europe wags are roughly twice eastern Europe ones. So that's why I'm receiving all these spams "developers available in Romania"?

    After applicable exchange rates, standard rates in the US are 2100/3200/4200 euros/month, after taxes. Granted, we have less taxes than you guys, but we pay for stuff you don't (like health insurance, which is a bitch). Maybe prices are relative to distance from Los Angeles (where salaries are much higher than where I'm at).

    My criteria for good software:
    1. Does it work?
    2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

    I am not kidding :>), my salary is 1200 before taxes, 900 in cash.
      Yup, looks like amount decreases in proportion to the distance to Atlantic Ocean... Of course it's all about proportion. How much is your rent? How much for a decent lunch in the closest restaurant?
        I share the house with other people, but the typicall rent of ~50m2 is 285.
        The decent lunch costs 5 - 9 in common restaurant. But bier is cheap :))), typically < 1.

    Yes, I know that it depends on location, but EU is EU. Yes, it is probably the reason of those spams.
      Well, if EU is EU, perhaps should you consider moving closer to the sea :)
