America's pathetically low Federal minumim wage is $7.25/hr. $1160/month before taxes.

But never mind minumum wage. Thars an insulting amount of money for a systems language that is generally wielded for safety critical tasks (or tasks that benefit from that mentality,).

You underestimate how poor Ukraine is. When I was in college, one of my teachers was a recent graduate, and when I talked to her, she said she was getting paid $200/mo, and she even added that she thought it was good for a young woman. But, shortly after, she left the job. I hope she's doing alright. So what I'm saying is that it's not really the company's fault, in fact they seemed nice, it's more like they probably just couldn't afford to pay more.
