Sorry here in EU we are making a lot less past 2 years we have big increase in salary but still avg for EU is probably about ~60-80k USD if you have 4/5+ years of exp and if you are very good you can get 100-120k USD+ (not counting Meta/Google and few other but only in few countries) and ofc it is pre-tax as taxation is a lot higher than US so in some countries you'll get about 40-60% total salary (counting VAT on basic products and other taxation).
Not even counting Eastern Europe and Asia where you get fraction of that.
- bitL 4y agoImagine spending 10%+ of your yearly income after taxation on this card...
- machinekob 4y agoImagine you have to spend 15% of your yearly salary every 2 years cause nvidia tax (ofc in western developer countries and more like 50% excluding cost of living in less fortunate areas)

- 6nf 4y agoIf it makes you 11% more productive then its worth it
- TillE 4y agoThis is business equipment, so I don't see how salary is relevant.
- machinekob 4y agoCause you won't be able to use working/business equipment in your free time on your own projects?
- bee_rider 4y agoThe post that kicked off this chain was comparing the cost of the devices to the salaries of the people who'd be using them, to defend the high cost.
- uup 4y agoYes, because a business spending 7 figures on a single contributor can definitely afford spending $6,000 on a card.
- bee_rider 4y agoYah, I agree. Then again, I've been places that are stingy about printing, which didn't make much sense to me, so I guess they have some... other way of looking at this stuff.
