"Senior Developer Analyst"..... Every other company calls us "Analyst Developers" but I think my company realised the accronym that would ensue from adding the "Senior" bit.... It would've been suprisingly apt...... :wink:

After working for the same company for 12 years, doing work that no one else is able to do (thanks to my aspie brain - :lol: ) I'm still making only $10.20 per hour! Finding another job would require buying new clothes, making a resume, applications, interviews, rejections, etc. - all things I hate doing. I HATE hassle!! ! so I stay there, hoping this fragile company goes under and lays me off... if I'm unemployed I can get all kinds of help!! !

Oh, my gosh, Alex. I thought that was a personal question! Well, since you're a nice guy, I'll just say that I bet you didn't mean any harm.

Aside from being a personal question, having everything expressed in US$ is a poor indication of relative wealth since you're not accounting for cost of living. For example, when I went to Paris this month I discovered that virtually everything there costs between 1.6 and 2.2 times what I would pay at home in Canada (after currency conversion). If you want to know how people are doing, you would do better to ask what how much they earn as a percentage of their country's per-capita GDP (listed in CIA Fact Book) or Average Industrial Wage (I don't know where you would find that info).

$11/hr here but that is for my job only. I get rent from 2 apartments and will soon have 3 more up and running. Eventually I will have no wage and live entirely off rent and possibly some part time boat building. Yup....NO WAGE!! ! I WILL NO LONGER DONATE SERVICE TO CORPORATE CRIMINALS....woooohoooo!! !!

Yeah, cost of living is another thing. My $11/hr here would have to be $18 or more to live in most places in Ontario. My sister sent me some house listings from Fort Mcmurray, Alberta. Trailers...MOBILE HOMES that are 5-10 years old, with barely any yards and maybe a 2 lane driveway IF your lucky....are going for $300,000+! !! !! !! !

Of course your average crap job there pays over $20/hr.

There's interesting trade offs to be made regarding wages.

I earn approx $25/hour. I could earn more but I'd have to move into a job with less flexiable hours and more stress. Its just not worth it to me. I also could never be an enterpeur, no matter what the payback.

Right now, I'm getting £40 ($73.5) a week from Disability Living Allowance and £34 ($62.5) a week unemployment benefit. Hopefully I'll be making lots and lots and lots of money when I get past this depression and start my uber-successful business.
