Why are you comparing some "top" company engineers to median wage? That makes no sense.

I'm taking umbrage to the fact that OP said the "average ~~monthly~~ [edit: yearly] wage (I'm talking about the whole population) is at least 18-20k" when it is obviously bull.

  It's not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_average_wage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_... You don't just seem to know that disposable income and average wage/salary is not the same thing..

    I gave direct sources from the OFFICAL Stats Agencies of Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, and Estonia in 2022-2023. You just gave Wikipedia. The numbers which are on Wikipedia are AVERAGE. I'm using MEDIAN The fact that the AVERAGE income skews significantly higher than MEDIAN income is proof that you have a subset earning much much more than the majority.

      > I gave direct sources from the OFFICAL I have to question your reading comprehension. You're talking about median DISPOSABLE INCOME per capita (so it would include, disabled, retired, unemployed, part-time etc. workers). The Wikipedia link showing the average WAGE/SALARY. These are not the same thing.

  Or, maybe you can read first sentence: >Are you talking about software and tech in general? Because that's several times lower than the average. Or, even just keep talking about single subject: when given average income stop talking about median _disposable_ income. https://tradingeconomics.com/poland/wages https://tradingeconomics.com/poland/wages Or even read source correctly: >Median disposable household income in Poland is around $600/mo [0], only $200/mo more than in China It's not true: according to https://stat.gov.pl/files/gfx/portalinformacyjny/pl/defaultaktualnosci/5486/3/22/1/sytuacja_gospodarstw_domowych_w_2022_r._w_swietle_wynikow_badania_budzetow_gospodarstw_domowych.docx https://stat.gov.pl/files/gfx/portalinformacyjny/pl/defaulta... it's median disposable income _per capita_. Directly translated by chatgpt: >The level of average monthly disposable income per person, rounded to the nearest 1 PLN in 2022, amounted to 2250 PLN.
