Replace Africa with MiddleEast and it's the same, $8500 is the average salary, only a few private companies actually pay a reasonable salary, bad education, no training, expensive electronics/internet, and non-techy bosses/clients (the worse!!)
- Scoundreller 7y agoThinking of « Africa » as one place is just as poor a decision as thinking of « Middle East » as one place. I’m sure things vary drastically between Israel, Iran and UAE.
- human20190310 7y agoIsrael, Iran and UAE all have good infrastructure, health care and education levels. There probably is a lot of variation in the region but I don't think those three countries would capture the full range.
- madrafi 7y agoAfrica and the Middle East are 10-sigmas.
- Ahmed90 7y agoNot sure about Iran, but Israel got support and kind of an open market with silicon valley and it's an isolated part of the ME anyway it's not like an Iraqi dev would casually go to Isreal to work lol, UAE not really special, most of the working force in tech is imported talent so the local circumstances are irrelevant.
- shard972 7y ago> Iraqi dev would casually go to Isreal to work lol Why not? Do they not have work visas like America does? I mean considering how many undocumented people make it to America from the middle east I can't imagine it would be too hard to get into Israel.
