Reading through these comments I find myself rather dazed at all of the complaints regarding $15 an hour salaries, I'm a software engineer with 6 years of experience in a first world country and I make less than that before taxes.
- thundergolfer 7y agoWhich first world country is this? I made $30AUD as a waiter in 2015. An Australian software engineer with that much experience getting paid almost half that ($15 is USD yeah?) in 2019 would be absurd.
- 15engineer 7y agoHong Kong and yes USD.
- alexgmcm 7y agoIt depends on the cost of living though. I earn around that in Western Europe but it's still a pretty good job for Spain and I have no doubt I live in better conditions than the Americans working for $15 an hour, which is really what matters.
- 15engineer 7y agoYou're right it does depend on cost of living, but I live in a city/country (Hong Kong) with one of the highest costs of living in the world[1]. [1] https://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living/country/ranking https://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living/country/ranking
