I suppose I must have made a lot of small irrelevant changes :) john

I hope that I can collect my $55000x0.9 in some way. :-) Personally I would be interested to do some paid work for LyX. I am running out of contract in 6 month... maybe I'll do a reconversion in the software engineering :-). But something disturbs me a bit... is $55000 a correct year salary in the states? Abdel.

It sounds very low to me. I'd love for somebody to get paid for LyX work. AFAIK I'm the only person to have ever been paid for that. Maybe we should be apply for more grants, I believe there are several available these days up for the taking... regards john

If I would be successful in attracting the next LyX meeting (summer 2007?) to Finland, I intend to apply locally for some support. There are literally hundreds of funds in Finland, but most of them are very small or are unsuitable for us. BTW under "Mature, well-established codebase": "The first lines of source code were added to LyX in 1999" Huh. I started using 0.7.10 for production work in 1997.

The 66th percentile for a "competent" new hire (meaning a certain company pays a base salary that matches or exceeds 66% of other US companies for the same kind of work) is about one and a half times that. Many of these companies will also pay employees with some kind of stock award/option. US tax comes in at about 20% of total salary. The likely downside if you're coming from abroad is that you'll go from being a two income household to a one income household. Of course, if your better half can also organize a company to sponsor them through the visa process, you're laughing... Anybody interested still? I can put names forward... Angus

Sweden is a country with high taxes, but are the tax rates really directly comparable? I guess health insurance is one issue?

It sounds very low to me. Since we are at it: What would be 'average'? $55000 ~ 42000 euros. The average salary for a recently graduated engineer is 3 euros (gross) in France. Last time I had a salary it was way above that, but then I am not very young :-) Abdel.

Re: Mildly interesting...
On a side note, speaking of doing paid work for LyX: http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2007/02/speaking-of-summer.html Maybe some sub-projects lend themselves to something like that?
