Financial engineering - NYC.
- King-Aaron 9y agoJeez. I'm a senior front end developer in Western Australia, on 70k. Build Fintech systems... It would be interesting to compare the costs of living etc to see how salaries over there compares to here.
- Andrenid 9y agoA front end developer in State Gov in Australia can easily be $90-110k, fwiw. Can confirm for east coast anyway.
- King-Aaron 9y agoAny openings currently? :P
- quickthrower2 9y agoYou could probably buy a house on that salary at a reasonable commute distance to Perth CBD.
- King-Aaron 9y agoYou can get into some off-the-plan garbage in an extremely far away suburb on this sort of money, but right now I don't think it's the right time for me to get into property. So I rent about five minutes from Mount Lawley :)
- quickthrower2 9y agoOk well that you can rent in such a good location on a 70k income (assume USD?) means lifestyle in Perth IS much more attainable than on SFO which might require a 150k income. Rents seem to be 300/W AUD for an appartment there. Nice. Here in Sydney it's double that. 300 gets you a room in a decent location.
- King-Aaron 9y agoOh no sorry, that's 70k AUD - in USD I think it's about 55? But yeah Perth is quite cheap to rent in. Living costs are kind of high though, but they are really comparable to other states.
- jackgolding 9y agoMoved from Perth to Melbourne last year with a nice 30% bump but rent is significantly more expensive here and it takes a lot longer to commute to the city.
- nrki 9y agoAs someone from Perth... you are being severely underpaid.
