Man, I'd like to let you to know something: it's not about how fucked up you are, but how you deal with it. Just to begin, I live in the third world and you live the life I wish I could. So, you can get a job somewhere else. Do it

We like the extremes, from clojure's metaproggraming, haskell's hipsterness, go's performance and lack of classes. Scala isn't sexy, it's like coffeescript for java.

I get almost 10 minimum wages with 24 and I think that I'm underpaid(and I am...). I was making WAY MORE money working as a freelancer than working for a company here but it seems that people(and the government) only respect who is emp

Keep your job and do interviews for companies in the $75-90k range. It won't look so bad as much as you think if you leave after fiding another job. You negotiated badly and they ripped you off... also, a >50% raise should always be a r

You are wrong, the burden rate in Brazil is 85% of the employee's gross salary. So, using your example: $1000 salary, $850 goes to the government. When the employee receives this salary of $1000, about 20% goes to government. In the end, th
