Really?
You have programmers who work for $20k?
That's rather depressing, I'd leave the country ASAP.

Yes, 28-33K is a normal salary for the average programmer in Russia.

In 2003 -2006 when I was there the salaries were much lower. I saw them rise dramatically more than 100% in 3 years.They are still going up, unlike our western economies.

I was getting paid about A$50,000 back in 1995, contractors alot more. This kept going up until companies said enough is enough and we were outsourced to India and China, needless to say many lost their jobs - me included. Thankfully i had my hobby of sharetrading to takeover. Sharetrading isn't as mentally stressful as C++
