I live in Cluj-Napoca, Transylvania. I'd pay $300-$500 for an apartment with living-room and one bedroom here. Developers are probably the best paid people in Romania, after managers. An experinced developer would not work for less than $1200 / month, however you can find cheaper developers, but what you pay is what you get. Harghita (the one from the link you gave me) and Covasna are the the poorest zones from Transylvania, also Transylvania is the richest zone in Romania. Students who live in campuses can of course, cover the whole rent. I belive RAC coders are underpaid even for romanians, that's why I don't really use this website.

Actually I am from Romania and, honestely, I wouldn't move a finger for $100 on RAC. Like somebody else said, those $100 jobs are made by college people who are not actually living only with that money, and they are looking for high rankings most probably.
