This is probably a shot in the dark but since I work in this sphere I was wondering if anyone does this in another country and what your salary is.
I have done my own research and concluded at this time I can't make much money outside of the Anglosphere doing this job. But that may change in 10-20 years as technology increases in 2nd tier countries and ad spend goes up, along with the amount of money people put into websites and international marketing of their businesses. I was considering working in Australia due to it's proximity to Japan and other South East Asian countries. But I don't want to die from a python bite, tarantula poison or the smarmy attitudes from down under. Also I heard the property values are really sky rocketing and costly there.
Is there anyone that does this in say Eastern Europe or Southeast Asia? I would probably require a salary of at least 100k to relocate so that's why I haven't been able to do so yet. This factors in relocation costs, language learning costs, acclimating to the differences in cost of living (maybe food is cheaper but rent isn't, etc.) and emergency funds, supplemental health insurance, student loans, supporting a spouse, etc.
Depending on the responses (if any) maybe I will change my country of interest. I just want to live outside of the U.S. and have a good standard of living. That is probably asking for the impossible however. I have roughly 5 years of experience in the field. So I might delay any potential moves until I get 10 - Since I know they prefer older more experienced foreign professionals in other countries compared to here.
Edit - Found this gem. It appears as if I won't have to pay Federal tax if I make under 100k elsewhere. Hope I'm understanding the article correctly. If so that's great! http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Internati...-Exclusion
I guess they don't want U.S. middle income earning citizens renouncing their citizenship. Smart move on part of the IRS.
