  2. 3mr, dont hury with conclusions, i dont think you will be willing to pay 500 usd at least for only the rent of a 1 room apartment from the big salary u’ll have in europe.

    Better bring projects in your own country at the level of europe :D as i try to, in my eastern-europe country.

  3. Better yet, add more languages to your toolset and perhaps some system admin type stuff. I LOVE doing PHP but sometimes its Java that pays the bills, or system admin work, etc.

    more tools, more knowledge, more money

  4. True, a senior Java programmer makes £650 per day, while a senior PHP programmer makes no more than £350.

    If you are developing for the LAMP stack, it’s always a plus to know shell scripting and python. You can earn up to £500 pd.
