You are right :)

agree

Currency - dollar. hm... what is the right pricing?

I'd multiply that by at least 5 if you're in the US and you're any good.

Nope, i'm from Eastern Europe.

Multiply it by 3 then.

Edit: Let me clarify - not saying that Eastern European programmers are better or worse but the living costs are obviously lower in Eastern Europe than say Western Europe.

I'm working in Hungary as a software engineer, and get about 10$/hour (although I have only 5 years of experience in development). Also, I get more than most of my peers from the university, so it's not that low because I'm a shitty developer :). With this salary, I'm a very well paid employee compared to others in the country, it's about 3 times more than the average salary.

Not necessary. I'm from Georgia, eastern Europe. I was astonished during my recent visit in Berlin of how cheap it is, especially groceries/food, clothes, toys, etc...

I was also comparing prices in San Diego, California, and it was quite on par with Georgia.

The main reason eastern Europe appears cheap is the human labour - people are just used to low income...

Can't agree more.

US west coast prices are terrifyingly similar to prices in the Baltic States(unless you're living in a metropolis such as NYC).

Something to remember: It doesn't matter that you're from Ukraine. It matters where the company you work remotely for is stationed. If you find a company in the US or western EU willing to hire you, you can probably ask for their domestic market rates :)

Good luck.

Yes. Actually, some companies have policies that they research local salaries and offer accordingly. Needless to say, I don't work for such companies.

Love Georgia) but I broked my hip in Gudauri this February ))

The summer season should be more safe I think ;)

I hope. Have to visit Batumi.

It's true. I agree.

I currently pay Polish developers USD$40/hour.

I'm from Ukraine, even not EU

Eastern Europe or whatever - if you are any good, people from Western Europe would pay you at least something more like EUR 30.

Oh, It will be great if I'll find this rate even for my current tech-spec. (.NET)

Full time job is OK, but if it'll suit my salary requirements. For now i'm, ok with my current job. But want to move forward. I mean, I want to learn new techs by part-time job, and then move to full-time.

I'm working on it :)

Don't let this guy to discourage you. Millions of non-native speakers successfully work for American companies although they don't have perfect grammar and spelling.

Millions of native speakers do without perfect grammar and spelling too.

I know, because I worked for American and Western Europe guys for 3 years, and all was OK)

I think you don't understand me right... Simply: i want to find trainee aor junior remote job.

Yep, working on my own pet-projects is always sounds good and i'm doing it, but money, even small amount is always better motivation.

Look at it from the other side. Who would want to hire someone remotely and part time so they can learn a new stack? If someone is willing to hire both a part time and remote worker, they will want an experienced dev who can bring value right away.

I learned Django / Python on the job (coming from Perl).

My colleague was always ranting about how much better Python was than Perl. Having inherited her code, I was writing far better code while learning Python than she was after doing a PhD in bioinformatics (~4 years?).
