went to Stanford and lives in SF pulling 100k/yr".
I know plenty of software developers that frequent this site and make around 20-30k a year in Europe.

- robertlagrant 5y agoThat salary seems very low, other than maybe for a junior. And even then - maybe. What sort of company pays that in 2022?
- ip26 5y agoCertainly true, but by a process of self-selection, the population of the site does seem heavily skewed.
- Barrin92 5y agoto be fair a 30k job in Warsaw or Prague gets you a living standard you get for 100k in SF so that perception has always been skewed. When I for the first time saw what people in SF and America more broadly pay on rent, education, childcare and transport I had a culture shock The average rent for one bedroom apartment is 2.5k in SF, even in Berlin you're maybe paying 800 bucks.
- peanuty1 5y agoNo kidding, I see people posting pictures on Reddit of street food they bought in European countries like Europe for 1.50 euros that would easily cost 10 bucks + tips in the US. https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodPorn/comments/thvk4e/a_casserole_from_krakow_this_one_is_chicken/ https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodPorn/comments/thvk4e/a_casserol...
- woodruffw 5y agoSure; I’m not claiming that everybody on this site is those things (I’m only 1 of them myself.) The point was about the average reader, and I think that holds. But I don’t actually have statistics to support that.
