 Have you guys heard about India?

A decent dev works for $20k a year

 Even we Europeans look like a bargain, in comparison to the Americans. 👀

 You don't get many UX/UI focused devs in India. I'm guessing this is probably because of the university system in India. Also the timezone difference is a big pain though. Especially if you are not east coast.

 i think those are way inflated prices, i clock about 6d20m a day and make less than half that but i'm doing this for the GFY value, and i get paid in bitcoin as well, and my boss is a chad, and we are delivering what the shitcoiners need more than anything... scalable social networks

 I think everything just costs a lot, where they live. Probably have $10 bread, or something.

 i can't imagine paying much more than i do for my living costs than here, no, i should be exact, i would not want to pay such a high proportion

i lived in bulgaria and serbia and rents and food costs were probably half typical germany/USA rates 

here in madeira, the rents are pretty damn high, i am not fond of this part, but the food costs are pretty much par, about the same as i paid in netherlands, serbia, bulgaria, only the rent is expensive... internet is also good here, only teh transport sucks in madeira, but partly that's just geography

 How much do you spent in Madeira? Per month 🤔
