Thank you fo replying. I know you can make more money if you are abroad, but being with your friends and family cannot be traded with money. At least not for me.

I am curious to know where you studied.

if you get 2500$ in Lebanon and 4500$ abroad, it's not worth leaving. Unless you get payed like 7000$+

I am a second year Electrical and Computer Engineering student currently studying in Canada. I will be going back home to Lebanon once I am done. This is why I was asking you about your job and such. I have had a successful internship with a wind power company and looking forward to build on that. It seems Power Engineering is going to be my major.

@ Kareem

You could have not said it better ! And do not dream about high salaries abroad unless you go to the KSA or gulf. Living in North America will teach you what the expense of living means. I hate how people, and especially Lebanese, think that they can come here and get rich in like 3 months.

Re: hi all

In simple numbers:

Starting salaries for a fresh grad in the software development field would be in the range of $800-1000.

2/3+ Years experience you land yourself a $1200-1400.

5/7+ Years experience varies widely depending if you still want to be a developer or not a team leader/project manager, so it's around $1800-2200

Unless you are working for Murex or some multinational company, the above numbers are true in 99.99% of the cases in Lebanon.

Re: hi all

Your numbers make sense Flyingwizard.

You will make more money in Canada for example since minimum wage is 9.5 $ / hour, but there is a lot to pay for.

One thing about Murex, they are not Santa if you know what I mean. People there work for 14+ hours a day with No overtime and sometimes weekends so they are paying them fairly. Multinational companies employee get like  8-9$/hours for a fresh entry position.
