This must be a typo! $3.5k per year?
- Tade0 3y agoI'll do you one better: I was making $8k annually as a developer a decade ago in my very much EU member country. I was getting shafted, but I learned that my co-worker lowballed and had $5k - I think this was below minimum wage at the time, but the employer took advantage of a loophole in temporary contracts. Back in 2003 $8k per annum was good money.
- OmarShehata 3y agoNot a typo! This was my source: https://www.timedoctor.com/blog/average-salary-in-egypt/ https://www.timedoctor.com/blog/average-salary-in-egypt/ Also, that's not even like necessarily poor. A software engineer in Alexandria (2nd biggest city after Cairo) makes $5k annually (according to this https://www.levels.fyi/t/software-engineer/locations/alexandria-egy https://www.levels.fyi/t/software-engineer/locations/alexand...) and that matches my experience (from people I knew who worked in egypt ~5 years ago, adjusting a bit for inflation). Rent in a good apartment in a good part of town would be $160-ish a month.
