1 USD is 16.7K IDR today.
holy moly, that's worse than i thought.
if a single US dollar could get me a fried rice (nasi goreng), then we are cooked as an Indonesian.
For your info, A programmer job in Indonesia has a wages around 5M IDR, Which is basically $300 USD **per month** (i am not exaggerating at all). Now if we compare the wages on the same position but in USA, They're around $1100 or $2000~ (after taxes), **5 times more bigger than what we got in Indonesia**
Tech jobs pay way more than that in the us. That’s below the poverty line.
i guess we are broke once we Indonesian step into the USA with what we have in the pocket
Yeah, you have to completely change your frame of reference.
And here I am trying to come to America to wipe the grannies buttholes, so you saying I can make even more working in tech init 😁
That's the fact, USD is stronger than IDR. And finding a job as employees at the companies is really hard right now. Even self-employment is still not a better choice.
Maybe I should move to Indonesia so I can actually afford to buy a house with the money I've been saving for the last 10 years
