With my team in Lisbon, we have multiple people who do not speak the native language, Portuguese. Since I do not look like I am Portuguese, everyone defaults to speaking English with me in public and are happy to. The quality in life in Portugal is very good especially with a developer's salary.

- munchor 10y agoDevelopers will rarely make more than 1500-2000€ per month, but this is, unfortunately, considered a lot of money there. So while in San Francisco one expects to make 100-120K, expect to make 20-24K in Portugal. The good news is that you can live comfortably with 2000€ per month, as food and housing are very cheap. (I'm a Portuguese guy working in SF)
