That's pretty much what most (if not almost all) of ukrainian tech is doing. And coupled with low CoL and widely abused tax loopholes, they are making bank, netting comparable money to 6 figure jobs in the west. So I'm just saying that eastern europe == poorly paid is a misconception.
It really depends on job quality as well.
Considering how frugal you are, you have plenty of time to find a better gig.
Pure local companies are not going to pay much better though (and Latvian state and local government gigs are even less).
