I know it's eastern Europe but that's $5000-7500 a month, barely $90k a year. It sounds like a solo job too so a lot of responsibility for this salary.

> $90k a year.

$90K a year goes much further in most of Europe barring the centres of the biggest cities—let alone eastern Europe—than it does in the US.

NYC and Bay Area salaries are outrageously inflated, with much of the take-home being funnelled into four/five digit rents or mortgages for houses built out of matchsticks, car loans, health insurance payments, and more. None of this is necessary or costs as much in most of Europe, or the rest of the world, really.

Apples to oranges.

That's in the 50k EUR - 77k EUR range which is senior-level pay in EU. Add to that it includes pension, tax prepayments and health insurance. They also seem to offer lots of perks in the office.

If you account for the fact that Poland is generally less expensive than the average and that the average monthly living cost is ~900 EUR ( https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?cou... ), even the 50k lower bracket is in the higher range. You get ~2k EUR net/month in your account after pension and tax contributions, health insurance, rent and expenses (as a single). That's not bad at all. EDIT: (excluding rent)

It doesn't compete with the better local companies though. It's fairly in the middle of the pack.

900 EUR might be enough for student-like living if you own the apartment you're living in, or by sharing a room when renting, but it's not even close to acceptable level in Warsaw.

$90k a year before tax is a very very good salary in Norway, and even a decent developer salary. It's much better in eastern Europe.

[lewispollard]

Yeah that's a good salary in Europe. It's only slightly less than I make in the UK as a senior.

[flumpcakes]

Ditto. It seems like the graduate wage in the US is 2x my senior salary in the UK, which sounds very similar to yours. It seems massively inflated compared to other US jobs. Tech jobs in the UK seem to be more inline with other sectors.

The standard of living is higher in France than in eastern Europe, and even in France that's considered a high salary.

[tokai]

US devs are vastly over payed.

[isbvhodnvemrwvn]

Welcome to Europe!

[trwired]

That's a very livable wage in Poland. The wages are significantly lower, but so are the costs of living.

[rnhmjoj]

Barely? It's more than twice the mediage wage in Poland.

[jacekm]

This is pretty much a standard salary range for a Senior Dev in Poland. Outside of Warsaw it can be even lower.

[mschuster91]

In Eastern Europe, that's 1% level of income when measured against the quality of life you can have.

Their lattes also cost much less than a Silicon Valley latte :)
