2008-2010: Waiter: 6£/h
2010: Intern 4$/h
2011: Intern about 6400£ after taxes for 2 months
2013: 28k/year
2014: 40k/year
2015: 55k/year (£)
2016: Contractor with full employee benefits, remote, python, startup - $75k/year. Small bonus after the startup was bought.
2018: two remote contracts. Working 6 days a week for 12h. After taxes and all my expenses - I live very comfortable lifestyle - I was saving for retirement 10k USD a month.
Now: 81k$/year. 9-to-5, remote, python. I live in central Europe, so I save up about 40% for my retirement. Not sure how to invest money, most likely I'll start my own start up and copy something from US.
My life is really great. I wouldn't trade it for 250k+ Silicon Valley job.

- salaryowmew343 8y agoMy friends were recommending Vanguard. Sadly, it's not available at my location.
- KaiserPro 8y agoThis. virtually all "fancy" funds do worse than the Dow jones index.
- softawre 8y agoYou probably mean S&P index, which is what most index funds index against. Dave Ramsey recommends mutual funds with higher fees but that consistently beat the S&P 500. I have some money in some that I found like that, but still probably half in index funds.
