Re: [Flashcoders] Rates of pay in Europe...
"repeat until bored" Can you get bored of that? : ) In cities like Madrid and Barcelona a Flash developer (i mean, programmer) should be between 22-30k (-~20% tax), depending on skills. And believe me, you're not going to get rich with that salary. Your best bet is working for UK companies and live abroad, but that requieres some travels back to the UK, a good DSL and a very good relationship with the client. A similar approach is working for companies in Madrid/Barcelona and living in smaller cities. Good luck : ) On 3/12/07, Blumenthal, Peter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Just a thought Trevor, but I had some friends (more designer than developer, but same rules apply), who spent the summers working Hossegor and the winters in Chamonix.

Actually it's more us Brits. 'Europe' or 'The continent' is the name we use for the big landmass the other side of the channel...
