Remote work is a good bet. Especially Rails programmers can fetch quite a bit.

  Are you speaking from experience? I felt like competing against poorer European countries and pay was just never worth it.

    Some limited experience. I'm living in Germany, but not in one of the larger cities where employers tend to pay more (Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt). So I also checked out remote opportunities. I noticed also that for Ruby/Rails developers there were some high-paying jobs available. Since that's not my specialty I didn't pursue them though. Living in a major city will offer you more opportunities though and also allows job hopping which is the best way to upgrade your salary anyway.

      I moved to a bigger city and now earn nearly 40% more and enough to feed two. That's great, especially when you have to. But it's still far from 100k :)
