I live in Algeria (4th cheapest country.)

Some of you may giggle at it, but I am wary to tell my friends and family that I make around $3k/month, working remotely as a Software Engineer, fresh out of college. For many here, it may not sound a lot, but it is the most I could find, doing what I love (C programming on Linux/Open Source project.)

In a country where the minimum wages are $180/month, such salaries could be made by senior execs in large companies. At the age of 22, I don't know what to do with that much of money, except helping my parents and investing in housing (a sure bet here.)



Hey SnowDZ , I lived in Algeria all my life , I used to work too in freelance project when I was in Algeria , but I make around 150$/ month no more lol , now I live in France, with no work in France , I'm intented to go back on working on freelancer! good luck
