Was this in Japan? (I just read the first few sentences of the bio on your blog). If so, how different is 30k USD there from market rates? And what country are you from originally?
I wonder if anything is at all different because of differences between Japanese and US culture with respect to discussing compensation, what is typically expected of workers, and so on.
(Not trying to poke holes in your story -- just genuinely curious!)
- keerthiko 10y agopatio11's comments rang perfectly true of the average Indian software engineer's line of thinking and contextual awareness as well. I didn't grow up or work in India, but I have a lot of friends who do/did and can see them constrained by this thinking.
