Other comments are right, $11k a month is a very high engineering salary anywhere in Europe.
However, during the last year there's been more and more american companies that offer these kind of rates remotely. So, a good developer could make this, and even more, while living in Europe, although you might have not consider him "working" here (whatever this means in terms of remote work anyway).
- exdsq 6y agoYeah I see dozens on the Braintrust platform literally daily. Some remote roles have gone up to $240ph which would be absolutely insane in Europe (or most of the US).
- jeltz 6y agoYeah, $11k is a very high salary in Sweden. Almost the only way to make that as a developer is to be an independent contractor.
- cycomanic 6y agoBut he essentially is an independent contractor, that's the point. And talking about Sweden, you miss the pension, health insurance and the employer contribution to the taxes.
- CRConrad 5y agoHow is he an "independent contractor" when everyone -- not everyone here, but he himself and his, ahem, employers -- is talking about him as an employee, and he's been there for years? Never mind the GitHub commits, analyse how many times in the last year he's had to hunt for next month's gig.
