Hi Brzina,


I think you are even expensive compared to India-wages. :-)

Anyway, do you think you can hire a room in CA-area for your monthly salary?
Life seems to be very expensive over there..
So the salaries are not as high as they may sound to you.

Some friendly careeradvise:
- Finish school first!
- Maybe get involved in some international project (maybe via
www.sourceforge.org) to get a name and proof your capablities.
- Make a good CV.
- Master english (but I have the impression that you already did that)

After that: Stay or leave.
- Croatia is member of EU, so expect things to improve (slowly of course)
- Try to get some job in Germany or Holland or some other rich b@stard
country..
If you are really good, they do not want to see you leaving. :-)
The hard part is of course getting chance.

I know a Russian guy here in Holland who gets paid like 150 euro an hour.
He is some Javaguru. But he started with nothing too.
So stay optimistic brzina!

Regards,
Erwin Moller
