Interested in the salary level when working full-time remotely from the Russian Federation for an employer from the EU, USA (not freelancing)?

Question

Distant work

Hey!
Interested in the level of ZP on the Java stack of the middle level + front js. Interested in employment as a remote worker in a company/team, not freelancing. How much will the salary level differ from the level of a similar position when working in an office in Moscow time? Interested in averages.

Answer 1

On a normal remote work, it will be about $20-$40 per hour (or the equivalent in euros), multiply by 160-168 hours and subtract taxes from the individual entrepreneur, it turns out something like 3-6K (it can be less, it can be more, but most of the remote workers I know , are approximately in this fork). "They save money on Russia" - this is not entirely true, you just need to look for work not on Russian-language resources, without intermediaries, and position yourself as a good specialist in the eyes of the employer (the notorious "sell yourself")

Answer 2

If you are a good specialist, you will earn exactly the same as the local guys.
I know one developer - he went to work for a Western company with a salary comparable to the top manager of the company he left.
They save money on Russia when they order product development from local teams. When a person is hired in the state, savings are far from in the first place.

Answer 3

I will tell you the work on the position of the frontend. but you can figure it out as a percentage. zp is sometimes even lower than in St. Petersburg, but the average is the same. people come here to look not because there are not enough specialists, but stupidly to save money. why russia and not india, poland or china? I mainly communicated with Russian-speaking project managers. I think that's why

Answer 4

In short - a little less than the natives, since working with a foreigner for a client is always an additional fuss. And this fuss must be able to minimize (and a lot depends on this). Then, I would say that you can focus on the data on the salaries of specialists similar to you minus 20-30% (even if you are as special as locals, you are still not local. Even those who leave for the US / EU - the first years anyway, they usually work on salaries slightly lower than those paid by locals). I collected some information in this post - Freelance FAQ: what can I expect from a salary? . Analyze information. In the post there are links to estimate salaries and income levels of expenses. No one can give a ready-made price list.
