天气常如二三月，花技不断四时春。(All with today's exchange rate, of course) In Poland I have met programmers earning from $530 to $2000 after taxes (net pay). $530 is an insult to a software developer even in Poland, but I really met people who earned that at the very beginning of their career - they were not much skilled and/or crappy negotiators. In newspapers they will tell you that programmers earn $3500/month. It's a lie, I don't know what it is based on, I believe there are some mythical figures who can get such a salary but it's far from average in my opinion (I read IT administrators are the best paid IT workers, btw.).

天气常如二三月，花技不断四时春。In Bulgaria the salaries for C++ developer (5+ years of exp) are approximately $1100 - $1500 per month after the taxes. It also depends from the company. For example the developers work for VMware, Oracle or SAP usually earns $2000+. That was the situation one year ago, I don’t have current information.

I do, but I was only counting my 40 hour a week, day job. My estimate of an average is probably a little high for tassie, but a little low for the mainland. I've say that devs in Sydney probably make the most, or perhaps Melbourne. I'd expect Sydney devs to be the worst off, cost of housing there is obscene. But, Melb and Syd is where the vast majority of dev jobs are.

Are there a lot of dev jobs in Tassie? Mostly in Hobart I imagine? If the housing is considerably lower I guess you could be just as comfortable there as in the bigger cities. If rent is $60-70 more expensive, a salary higher by roughly $5-6k should equalise that. And in the major cities you've got a much bigger pool of new opportunities. Many disadvantages too though - traffic, overcrowding, lack of parking etc.

Tassie is a beautiful place but it does have a major drawback all its own: TEMPERATURE! I go down each year at Christmas time & often struggle with it. Went down in July one year, never again! ;P To all you Canadians thinking I'm a wuss, where I live, it's considered cold when it drops below 15 deg C.
