Out of curiosity, what is the average salary for software developers in Romania?
- je42 10y agoIt's obvious. Take Bay Area average divide by 4 ;)
- a_imho 10y agoI can only speak for Hungary, it should be pretty similar, figures per month gross, net is ~2/3 of that, rough estimates as follows minimum wage $300 average wage $900 (official statistics for 2016 Q1) fresh graduate developer $1000 3-5 years of experience $2000-$3000 Can't speak for top engineers, but it would be surprising if more than a couple earns over $6000, it flats out pretty fast.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoWait, is that per month? What's cost of living in an area with plenty of decent, IT people?
- kowdermeister 10y agoAlso from Hungary, Budapest. Yes, those are monthly numbers. At BP you can rent a nice flat of 60-80 square meters for 420-500$. A beer is 2-3$ and on average you need 3-500$ to spend on casual things. It depends heavily on your lifestyle obviously, but I find it hard to spend a lot.

- nickpsecurity 10y agoThat site is great! I love the detailed breakdown. I'm envious of what fresh food cost you. Strange enough, the beer and rent are comparable to my area. Utilities cost significantly more there than here. Our Internet costs a bit more but I get 50Mbps down. Clothing and apparel is similarly expensive.
