Then Catho, past companies where I worked and people I know are all liars?

The highest I was paid was 5k BRL as contractor (no 13, bonuses, overtime, etc...) and back then I was one of the highest paid persons of the company (that had about 50 programmers). I remember talking to other people and lots of people except DBAs and exotic language specialists working on IBM had also similar pays.

I have no ideas for companies you worked for, but I wouldn' trust Catho :-)

apinfo.com.br salary survey matches my experience for average salary. BRL 5k is an average salary for a senior developer. I was making BRL 4k after I graduated from UFRJ about five years ago.

A senior specialist (band 8) working for IBM earns way more than that, plus benefits.
