Purchasing power differences in the world are insane: $65/h in Vietnam can represent a much more luxurious life than $200/h in San Francisco.
In fact, the global top 1% starts at US$35k/year!
At $65/h ($130k/year) you'd be able to buy a home outright in about a year, send your kids to snooty private schools, hire a maid and a private driver, etc. in a large part of the world.
- sidlls 7y agoThat doesn't mean much: a top-flight developer in Vietnam isn't going to underprice his or herself to that degree just because it costs a little less. If one can live that good on $65/hr, then $80 or $100 is that much better.
