Yeah, I was offered 3k for other company. But IDK if that's still low or not.

is that enough to survive and live comfortably in argentina?

Protip, do not ask for a US job when the company is purposely outsourcing.

Inflation is raising a lot lately, would help adding 500 bucks more. Plus that other company already offered me that amount. But yeah, I can live pretty well with that money. I don't expect to win as much money as you guys do. There's a reason why companies outsource job to fourth dump bag countries like mine. But I want to get the best deal.

This. I do Android dev along with Node.js for $110k USD. Outsourced work and in-house is very different, so expectations are set early on. It's a real pain in the ass to deal with requirements that are fucked up due to translation issues, bargaining culture, accents, and other cultural mismatches. Outsourced work is a gamble.

If you think you're good, start applying and going through some phone screens and live coding interviews. Pass areal one, then figure out how to come overseas and make the paper

$2.5k is good if you don't have to live in pricey California. Americans would do it for that much. Goddamn do I hate globalization.

Ok, so you win like 9k per month?

Yeah, but taxes and retirement plan and insurance drop it to $5. After other bills like phone, internet, rent, car, and food, the real money left over is best left in a savings account or the occasional hookers + blow night. IT jobs in the US can be very stressful and often are on an on-call list (24/7). No one really expects their offshore team to produce anything mission-critical.

I agree that outsourced work is a gamble. But It depends in the country from where you are hiring people. For example, I worked in projects for US clients with Indian developers and It's like fucking hell, those guys code like shit and talk like shit and don't assume any responsabilities. Is my personal experience, IDK maybe there's some Indian teams that are good. My point is if you hire an Indian team you're getting the cheapest of the cheapest, and so is the quality of their work. I think that Chinese devs are a little more expensive, but higher quality, then follows Rusians, and then all other countries. Argentinians work their asses off man. I work from 8am to 18,19,20 as the job requires, weekends included if shit is happening.

A stable and normal adquisition level in Argentina is reached with 15k +/- pesos a month. He is earning 45.000 pesos each month, so go figure.
