As the senior PHP/Unix geek in my company (not "a" senior, "the" senior), I only make a salary of $31,200 with barely any benefits. That comes out to 23,443.39 EUR, or 15,844.62 GBP at present (courtesy of XE.com). The area I live in doesn't offer much in the way of technical jobs, so any of you considering moving to America, keep in mind the difference in economic climates and microclimates, as well as the salary-to-cost-of-living ratio (which is shrinking rather quickly). -- Daniel P.
