Ask HN: How much do you make in Finland?
I live in Portland, Oregon and have about 3 years of experience in full stack web. I'm thinking about moving to Helsinki, Finland to work for a start up, but have no idea what salary to ask for.
- airbreather 10y agoMore to the point, how many Big Macs or pints of beer can you buy with a weeks pay.
- wannabefinn 10y agoyes, lattes and pints of beer were my first concerns ;)
- dotti 10y agoI make about 3400 €/mo with 8 years of work experience as a software engineer, though, not in that area where living expenses are more expensive. What I have heard over the years is that, you should not accept anything under 2000 €/mo, someone how just graduated can ask for 2500 €/mo and 3500 €/mo is comfortable income to live around Helsinki area
