That is realistic and in line with fresh out of college Computer Science graduate market rate. I know that because I went to an undergraduate CS degree in China.
Developers are working harder in China too. The famous 996 work schedule has been prevalent in Internet software startups in China.[1] Hence the anti-996 movement.

- epicureanideal 7y agoAre they actually productive for 72 hours per week (9am-9pm 6 days per week) though? At some point wouldn't the burnout make them only as productive as someone working maybe 50 hours per week but with time to learn and relax? But also, if 996 includes things like studying to become a better programmer, taking breaks to get coffee, etc. then maybe a lot of us on HN are working 996, if we include our own time we spend learning.
