I'm thinking that was meant to be $3,000 USD per month ~ $36K annum in Brazil (which is circa Brazil median dev salary).
No. I mean 300 USD per month. If I was offered 3000 USD per month I would jump with joy and be extremely thankful. My last job I was earning something like that and people here started to treat me as if I was extremely wealthy.
Damn.

I'm in Australia and don't expect big ticket US paychecks myself, but that does seem low for embedded C dev work - there's some skill required there.

I guess it's all relative to whatever economy you're embedded in though.

Good luck and best wishes going forward.

Levels doesn't seem to track salaries for your average "mediocre" (see, work-life-balance prioritized) developer quite as well.

In Canada their end of year report listed some cities with median salaries of 100-130K USD, but I think most Canadian devs aren't on levels, and earning a bit less.

For example, the Canadian government pretty much pays software engineers between 40K-80K USD (even for 20 YoE). They're surely a massive employer, but they're not listed on Levels

Not that working for big tech or U.S. companies is that much more desireable, but it does pay a lot more, and those people are more likely to be reporting on Levels

Interesting. 80K USD is really low in Vancouver, Canada, based on the people I talked to (limited set and all that). I thought salaries are way higher by now, even for work-life-balanced people
