Well, its mostly your fault. Start demanding more, if you are locked into your current job and can't see yourself getting a raise, move on somewhere else. I was stuck with low European salaries in my first year as Developer. In my seco

I found a new employer, at a 50% pay increase. And then moved to a country where cost of living is 60% less of where I am originally from. If I was frugal enough, a months worth of salary would buy me 6-8 months of time here. I'm makin
