The average Romanian programmer makes $646 per month (http://www.worldsalaries.org/romania.shtml http://www.worldsalaries.org/romania.shtml) or around $16.65 an hour. I don't know what experience you could have that tells you prices converge because that's just not the case (and if it were sites like eLance would have trouble staying in business).

- scorpioxy 17y agoWell, when you talk about working on projects that are not your "run-of-the-mill php web page" then the rates completely change. Again, that's just been my experience, so its not necessarily universal.(or I just might have been lucky) So for example projects that deal with video streaming and its intricacies, scaling or optimization, or my personal favourite, maintaining or porting legacy or broken systems done by programmers that are worth $5/hr.(sorry, i don't mean to be harsh, but we've all been there) Typically those kinds of projects are not easy to come by and are not that many to begin with. They also tend to be awarded to people you've already worked with or know, not auctioned off on sites like elance. I've once worked on a video streaming solution that used elements from Red5 and it was known that good Red5 consultants won't talk to you for less than $100/hr. I was not making anywhere near that of course, but I use it as an example.
