@dec_hl Can you write this way a C or C++ code that runs inside MS-DOS which than runs in browser, like a small DOS game?
That’s actually 🆒.

Mastodon is hiring!!!!

Having known a couple, the very competent ones were pulling +3x what was shown for the DevOps position, though.

Please keep in mind that these are figures for Berlin. Its bit tricky to compare because income tax and taxes for healthcare/social security/pension system are handled differently. Also the general circumstances of living and working in Germany vs the US are probably different. See for reference:

But the point is, since your suggestion was "there's former Twitter personnel available" to take on 100% remote jobs (without qualifying by saying *just* the much smaller, European portion of that pool of ex-Twitter personnel), there's an implication of at least *some* US-based ones would be referenced in that availability-pool. As such, US realities apply to those US-based elements of the potential hiring pool.

It is of course easier to benefit from positive aspects of the European labour market, healthcare and social security systems if you actually live there. The same is true for non-US citizens who are considering to move to the US for an interesting job.
I did not mean to deceive anyone. I just wanted to help spread the word and thought this info might be of interest to some former Twitter employees who are on macaw.social. That is all.
@Gargron @pbuck My guess is that the salaries in the US are so much higher, because you need to pay a lot of the stuff yourself that's usually covered by the public or by social insurance in most European countries.
That of course does not help you when working remote from the US for companies abroad.
Bingo. Health insurance for my wife and me is $12,000/year just in premiums. Add in deductibles and co-pays and a third of that salary is gone.
Factor in housing – which has gotten silly in a lot of places – and it's unlikely to be affordable for anyone in the US not doing it as a hobby. :(
@david @schmittlauch @Gargron @pbuck
Right, but the larger point on the various "that's a low compensation" posts is, if you're living in the US, you're unlikely to be able to *afford* to take on that low a pay-rate given the realities of life in the US.
Similar problems are run into by US-based employers seeking to expand their hiring-pools by offering 100% remote positions: unless they're paying higher-cost markets' rates, they aren't going to be able to attract talent from those markets.
Worked on a gig for a federal customer a few years back. Agency's head was complaining that contractors were demanding more than he, as the agency's head made ...ignoring he had a government pension, lifetime government healthcare, government provided transport and housing – both during the time he was agency-head and after he retired. It was like, "dude: you realize how much all that costs a contractor to provide for themselves??? THAT'S why they demand so much."
@Mastodon I’m here if you ever need online workplace wellness.

Let’s get healthy together🏋🏽♂️
Is that not a reasonable salary for a devops role IN several coubtries in Europe? It's a remote gig open to anyone in the EU.
