Hi Javier,

well, in germany (at least what I have seen so far)... the min offer was
around 23k. I get about that money myself, and I live really cheap, with
a
cheap car (cheapest you can get), and a girlfriend who doesn't need or
want
much. So if you have a family, in a town like London: go for at least
twice
that. AT LEAST :o) go for 30k, and if they don't wnan give you that, you
better stop thinking about that job.

Also make sure you don't get confused with currencies and remember we
still use GBP in UK, not EUR!

Consider that London Underground general workers can be on £22k and I'd
suggest as a lead PHP developer in Zone 1 you'd be looking for at least
£30k (GBP NOT EUR!) but probably more considering relocation costs and
family considerations etc.

***, *I* need to move to London, Spain, or Germany. 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).
