I can not agree. Salary of an engineer here is $3000-4000 per month (after tax calculation). Still less than in USA, but I can not call it a trifle.

As for our revenue, I told the truth. If you do not believe it, well, I will not persuade you. I think a knowledgeable person can check math. BTW, in the article I attached a screenshot from our analytics platform (ProfitWell).

What caused your distrust?


I don't think folks realize how cheap Eastern Europe is and how low non-tech salaries are here. I imagine $3/4k goes a long way in Belarus. For example, where I am in Russia, my entire rent + utilities are less than just my utilities were in the US. Ukraine and Belarus are even cheaper.

Also, random side note - there are many "продукты из белоруссии" (Belarussian food product stores) in Russia with even lower prices than local goods. They have a bit of a Soviet feel including grumpy women in funny hats behind the counter, but have very cheap beer and sausage (колбаса).


I can't see the original comment, but you mean $3000/month in Belarus?


Yes, it's the programmer's salary here. Of course this is not the starting point, it's a senior level salary, but this is not the upper limit.


case of the mondays?


Or a case of assholism.

Flagging those comments.


Hah, thanks for calling it as it is - I appreciate your comment :)
