Thanks for the numbers. Out of curiosity, out of those who said they were "making more", how many are working in startups? (and not in consulting, public sector, finance, etc)
No startup in the strict sense. On the other hand, the ones working on startups were not getting any equity - it was just that the salaries were lower. But there were a few guys doing Java stuff in BigCos whose salaries were below average. So it is not just a matter of "startup == low salary".
Curiously, the one making R$20k/month got the more "startupy" job. He is working at an advertising agency as the "Director of New Businesses in Digital Media". Basically he is in the EIR of an ad agency, creating new products, websites, generating tools and services with a team of 3-4 people that he needs to manage.
