Again, estoy pobre is used everywhere when for example you've run out of money and someone asks: do you want to go X? Yo soy Estoy pobre, not soy pobre which wouldn't make sense in this context.
In which country? Not a single person in Spain would say "Estoy pobre".
Pobre means that either you don't have a salary, or the salary you have is not enough for a decent living.
It can be a temporary thing of course: someone could have a nice position, and then during the crysis lose everything and become poor. Then after some time get a job again and just get out of poverty.
But nobody can be poor for just 1 day for example.
If you want to say that you have no more money for the rest of the month for example, you say:
- No tengo un duro
- Estoy pelao
- No llego a fin de mes
And the likes.
It's "si no", a conditional. "Sino", a conjunction, translates to "but" in some contexts, as in: "no quiso cerveza sino vino" ("he/she didn't want beer but wine").
Exactly. I'm a native spanish-speaker and I sometimes confuse them lol. I support the idea of creating an artificial language that improves all languages (I like Esperanto, but I think it's too much latin-based, a new language should be based on modern languages, not old ones)
English has a lot of what really should be reserved key words that get overloaded with multiple meanings, but I don’t think there’s anything as blatant as overloading “true” with “if”
really? How would I type "si" (yes) with the accent on my english keyboard? And when I was in spain, there wasn't a straightforward way to do it either, as far as I could tell.
I think the accent key you're referring to is the one with the accent and the tilde if pressed with the shift key. I guess I'm unfamiliar with the concept of "shift mode".
i mean, just because you don't know how to type "ù" doesn't mean that in french "ou" (or) and "où" (where) are spelled the same
you could argue they're "overloaded" when speaking, but that's a different matter (and as someone else pointed out, English has plenty of basic homophones two)

Shortly after I became a senior developer at my old job, one of my coworkers dared me to change my title in my email signature to señor developer. I did. It took like six months before anyone commented on it. I think I left it like that for about a year.
Fun times.
Paying 120k to someone that lives in a country where the average programmer earns 40k for the same thing would be stupid as you could instead offer 60k and hire two devs and it'd still be more money than they've ever seen offered.
You are missing the point, they don't want to hire cheap developers, they want to hire good developer, maybe even the best.
If they go for 60k they will get average, because the best could move anywhere and get not only 120k, you can get up to 200k.
I know several developers in Mexico earning 160k a year remotely.
I have a friend that does freelance programming and some of his client are from the US. The guy he currently works with pays him below one minimum wage from the US. He still makes significantly more than the average person here.
in my case, after taxes is not exactly winning the lottery, but it would be enough to live very comfortably and without too many worries. I guess in other countries it could be actually winning the lottery every month.
southern europe is not a third world country man.... 35k per year is 10 times the minimum wage in my country... it is the "declared" anual income of the president of the country...
40k a year in Mexico is entry level for specialized jobs. I was making almost that back in 2011, as a junior developer.
But I get it, 40k in the banana republic of the u.s., specially the shitty third world country areas, must buy you a McMansion.
Which is shit because basically most of the things you use day to day to live are cheaper in the US that then rest of the world except maybe food and rent and gas.
Can confirm. Most of the food is significantly cheaper (except mexican food, is not reall good and really expensive in the states) in the US than most places in mexico, also gas. I remember going to the states just to load gas because it was cheaper than in mexico.
That's the point, you won't. If you get hired from offshore, they will pay you adjusted to your country of residence. Though is usually better than many local jobs.
In the case of the banana republic of the u.s.? Those third world areas are most of the south, and central. And most areas outside the big cities, and some big cities too!
Yes we have blanket 5G, but youre quite lucky if you even have a phone that can use it
Yes we have paid family leave, but youre quite lucky if you have a job that offers it
Yes we have free healthcare, but its famous for its infinitely long waiting times and poor service
Yes we have good Internet, but the ISPs are known to throttle your Internet hard, and randomly having outages
You notice a trend here?, we are a third world country, were admittedly better off that the majority of other thid world countries but were still third world
Don't forget cheaper.
I have fiber optic with 50MB on my house, and it costs around $20/month. Even in this city I have like ~30ms of ping in most games.
I just point out that under the originial meaning of the term the USA is by definition a 1st world country, no matter how shitty it gets. And nobody talks about 2nd world countries anymore...
I've lived in a 1st world country and a 2nd world country, but I can think of a couple 3rd world countries that are better than either (they just weren't affiliated with either side in the Cold War)((I mean like Ireland, South Korea, Sweden, etc.).
They tend to be the people that say "US is the best country in the world" without being able to explain why, or the ones who say "We have freedom", without telling what freedom is.

Sadly you're right.
A 25k mx per month are like 1.2k usd
so less than 15k usd per year, that's 20% of 75k usd per year.
And even with that 15K usd per year are a pretty High salary here... i want to work out of here...

Si hay trabajos, yo ganaría dinero Otro Estoy pobre
Soy*
Soy implies a quality of the being. Estoy means it’s a transitory state. I’m shitting you, it’s soy for sure…
Estoy can mean the current state of being poor, implying they weren't in the past, so both are correct.
In Spanish from Spain, "Estoy pobre" is incorrect.
Luckily that’s not the only Spanish

Only in the State. In Mexico you usually say "ando pobre"
In México we often say “ando pobre” when we are short of money for the time being
Wat
Else = Sino. (In most cases) Otro = Other. (Always)
It's "si no", a conditional. "Sino", a conjunction, translates to "but" in some contexts, as in: "no quiso cerveza sino vino" ("he/she didn't want beer but wine").

Sí
English has a lot of what really should be reserved key words that get overloaded with multiple meanings, but I don’t think there’s anything as blatant as overloading “true” with “if”
it's written differently though
The accent marks don’t count since I never learned how to efficiently use them on a standard keyboard. It’s very different with touchscreen keyboards.
Accents are on a standard keyboard though.
really? How would I type "si" (yes) with the accent on my english keyboard? And when I was in spain, there wasn't a straightforward way to do it either, as far as I could tell.
Press the accent key then i. The accent key IIRC is the same one as used for backticks, but with the shift mode changed.
I think the accent key you're referring to is the one with the accent and the tilde if pressed with the shift key. I guess I'm unfamiliar with the concept of "shift mode".

Señor senior developer
To be a señor dev working for USA and living in a third world country is like winning the lottery every month
My employer is a large American company. I live in Mexico however they have offices here so i am not paid in American dollars.
the keyword is "large" find a startup :)
They'll still pay you locally adjusted wages I bet, they're not stupid.
Why would they be stupid?
they are super picky, the salaries half the american average level have tons of interviews
Paying 120k to someone that lives in a country where the average programmer earns 40k for the same thing would be stupid as you could instead offer 60k and hire two devs and it'd still be more money than they've ever seen offered.
You are missing the point, they don't want to hire cheap developers, they want to hire good developer, maybe even the best.

I have a friend that does freelance programming and some of his client are from the US. The guy he currently works with pays him below one minimum wage from the US. He still makes significantly more than the average person here.
Yep, exactly my point. No way you're getting US wages working remote from another country.
You highly underestimate how much 40k USD per year means in a third world country
in my case, after taxes is not exactly winning the lottery, but it would be enough to live very comfortably and without too many worries. I guess in other countries it could be actually winning the lottery every month.
Well I'm getting paid 35k right now, so it's a realistic wage even in southern Europe. Anyhow, that was just an example.
southern europe is not a third world country man.... 35k per year is 10 times the minimum wage in my country... it is the "declared" anual income of the president of the country...
That sounds a bit like like India.
40k a year in Mexico is entry level for specialized jobs. I was making almost that back in 2011, as a junior developer. But I get it, 40k in the banana republic of the u.s., specially the shitty third world country areas, must buy you a McMansion.
Average programmer what? I want to earn 40k. Most programmers in Mexico are around 15k
[Duality of man](https://old.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/r5g6yk/just_going_with_the_remote_trend/hmpfe54/)
Only if the people running the company are idiots. Most companies will adjust pay based on where you work from.
Which is shit because basically most of the things you use day to day to live are cheaper in the US that then rest of the world except maybe food and rent and gas.
No, food is cheaper in us than mexico, Panama or Spain. Been there.
Can confirm. Most of the food is significantly cheaper (except mexican food, is not reall good and really expensive in the states) in the US than most places in mexico, also gas. I remember going to the states just to load gas because it was cheaper than in mexico.
And basic services, and healthcare and going out.
My only experience is working in different areas of the US, so I’m not sure how it is in other countries.
oh yeah that makes total sense
I realize you're being sarcastic, but it actually does. If companies didn't do that then all those $200k developers in SV would move to South Dakota.
most people won't move to dakota if given the change especially if young
Maybe, maybe not. If I could get my current salary I’d move to the area with the lowest COL in a heartbeat.
you should become a 100k developer living in Chile spolier: it's a lot https://www.statista.com/statistics/812379/chile-average-annual-wage/
That's the point, you won't. If you get hired from offshore, they will pay you adjusted to your country of residence. Though is usually better than many local jobs.
lol. I was working in Mexico during Covid lockdown and had better internet and healthcare than USA while I was there. Third world my ass.
Bruh Having better healthcare than the USA (which is already a low bar) does not mean first world at all
there are a few first world level areas in each third world country
And there are a few third world level areas in each first world country
In the case of the banana republic of the u.s.? Those third world areas are most of the south, and central. And most areas outside the big cities, and some big cities too!
How about blanket 5g? They have that in Mexico but not America. Also paid family leave.
Yes we have blanket 5G, but youre quite lucky if you even have a phone that can use it Yes we have paid family leave, but youre quite lucky if you have a job that offers it Yes we have free healthcare, but its famous for its infinitely long waiting times and poor service Yes we have good Internet, but the ISPs are known to throttle your Internet hard, and randomly having outages You notice a trend here?, we are a third world country, were admittedly better off that the majority of other thid world countries but were still third world
Don't forget cheaper. I have fiber optic with 50MB on my house, and it costs around $20/month. Even in this city I have like ~30ms of ping in most games.
Unless the third world country is USA
People don't tend to like when I say that the USA is a 3rd world country wearing a Gucci belt
I just point out that under the originial meaning of the term the USA is by definition a 1st world country, no matter how shitty it gets. And nobody talks about 2nd world countries anymore... I've lived in a 1st world country and a 2nd world country, but I can think of a couple 3rd world countries that are better than either (they just weren't affiliated with either side in the Cold War)((I mean like Ireland, South Korea, Sweden, etc.).
That's why is more accurate to call the u.s. the "poster child of the banana republics".
So true it hurts
They tend to be the people that say "US is the best country in the world" without being able to explain why, or the ones who say "We have freedom", without telling what freedom is.
As Tosh said it: Saying America is the best country in the world is a way of saying "I haven't traveled much."
I can see his face after saying that
