If energy price increases are dominating your budget as a developer you should probably ask for a raise anyway or consider adjusting your energy consumption.
If anything the constant growth of real-estate pricing (now driven by low interest rates and inflation fears) should impact developers much more.
- Gareth321 5y agoHe's not saying energy dominates his budget. He's saying European CPI increases are mostly due to energy prices.
- moonchrome 5y agoWhat I'm saying is that if you're upper middle class income you are probably more concerned about the cost of housing than the cost of energy/food/etc. CPI increases started way before Russia and the energy price instability - the things energy will immediately reflect in will not be a big % of your income so increases aren't that dramatic. If my heating bill goes up 300% that's still going to be less than 2% of my household monthly income and that's during winter when we keep the heating on the entire time.
