A "living wage" depends on where you live. It's pretty common to see articles about people moving from SF to the Mid-West, taking a pay cut but being happy because they improve their standard of living. We also see articles about people moving from the mid-Est to Thailand, taking a pay cut but being happy because they improve their standard of living. Going by the BigMac index for example[1], it is perfectly reasonable to think that developers in the Philippines, Vietnam or India would be happy on roughly 50% of a US salary (presumably a non-SF salary too). Obviously this is very much a rough guide, but it's something to start from. [1] https://www.statista.com/statistics/274326/big-mac-index-glo... |
