Surprisingly at the moment for senior positions in Warsaw it is:

Open positions offering more than $7k at the current exchange rates in Warsaw:

Some are in USD.

Also, current exchange rate (4.5 PLN per dollar) is unusual, only caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Average rate over last couple years is probably 3.9 PLN, which would make $7k closer to 28k PLN, not 32.

Depends on location and experience. 7k USD/mo gross is below market for senior/staff positions in larger cities.

And senior/staff people at Google don't get 7k either. This is yet again a case of myopic lense where someone can't see beyond their own special little island and does invalid comparisons.

Certainly, that's why I responded. Tech salaries are becoming bimodal (or even "trimodal" [1]), and different types of companies are targeting different segments of the talent market. This skews the perception people have on what is actually a market rate, so it's important to spread awareness...

yep. I try to gauge early whether an potential employer wants the best programmer, or cheapest. because they pay wildly different. one gives me a better personal ROI than other. The new trend of shops being coy about telling you a job's pay makes it harder. no point wasting everybody's time
