Yeah I see it a lot, but most part of Africa are still not seriously considered. And if they are, it's probably through some agency that will make most of the "cut" while paying the locals minimum wage. I can still go back to EU if things don't work out, but I'll try this way for now.

Exactly, the fact that you're based in a developing country automatically means you'll get a peanut salary, whether you're local or expat, code-mill or rockstar, etc, etc.

SE is not moving to these places for better quality.

It really depends. Jobs that refer to you as a worker and your peers as the workforce will pay peanuts. They pay peanuts in the west, they pay peanuts in the south.

But if you slap an identity on your profile then where you are may not matter that much. There will still be a pay gap but pay will be worth while.

Guess what i am trying to say is that it is worth giving a shot but that shot needs to be given your all you have. I dont have specific examples but it is doable.
