The project I was working on was moved from Milan to Poland in what was most likely an effort to downsize the project and cut costs.
Odd choice of location given that hailing from Poland and having lived in Italy I had an opportunity to compare costs of employment and generally they're not that different.
Perhaps Milan is exceptional - can anyone from that location tell me whether €60k annual costs of employment are considered a lot for a senior developer?
- KptMarchewa 6y agoI was just going to comment on that. Not sure how reliable is this info, but Glassdoor suggests that salary in Milan could be slightly lower than what I would expect from average software engineer in Poland. https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/milan-software-engineer-salary-SRCH_IL.0,5_IM1058_KO6,23.htm https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/milan-software-engineer-s...
- pzduniak 6y agoI'd imagine that what you get for $25k/yr in Poland is way better than the ROI on $30k/yr in Italy. Depends on the stack though. Most corporate Java people earn peanuts here. It's also likely that they replaced a well compensated engineering firm responsible for setting up the project with a cheap team handling maintenance.
- isbvhodnvemrwvn 6y ago$25k/yr is a junior level pay in Poland (at least in larger cities). You can double that with a few years of experience, and you'll likely top off at triple that unless you work remotely for a US company. Most of the local work is the typical satellite office stuff though. That being said it quickly puts you in a very comfy financial situation, with very little risk and standard working hours.
