- pbalcer 5y agoDepends on location and experience. 7k USD/mo gross is below market for senior/staff positions in larger cities.
- izacus 5y agoAnd senior/staff people at Google don't get 7k either. This is yet again a case of myopic lense where someone can't see beyond their own special little island and does invalid comparisons.
- pbalcer 5y agoCertainly, that's why I responded. Tech salaries are becoming bimodal (or even "trimodal" [1]), and different types of companies are targeting different segments of the talent market. This skews the perception people have on what is actually a market rate, so it's important to spread awareness...

The new trend of shops being coy about telling you a job's pay makes it harder. no point wasting everybody's time

- Tade0 5y agoSurprisingly at the moment for senior positions in Warsaw it is: Open positions offering more than $7k at the current exchange rates in Warsaw: https://justjoin.it/warszawa/all/all/32k https://justjoin.it/warszawa/all/all/32k Some are in USD.
