If you are an IT professional, this is a golden time for you. You can work for a Western company and live in your own country. Incomes will, of course, be less than in the West (usually two times), but higher than in the local labor market (3-10 times). The smaller your city, the greater the difference. You will get valuable work experience, good money and brilliant prospects. Sometimes you will go on business trips to the employer. And if you really like it there, you can stay there.

In the West, IT specialists are among the top three highest paid professions along with doctors and lawyers. The average salary of programmers is about $90 thousand/year. But the most interesting thing is that IT professions are great for the global job market.
