Hallo, ich melde mich wieder mal wegen der Sache mit os software für Strickmaschinen (siehe thread im juli). Ich bin jetzt wieder in Wien und hätte Zeit für ein Treffen mit allen Interessierten. Ich kann euch mal die basics von Maschinentypen und Funktionsweise zeigen. Allerdings erstmal besser nicht bei mir im Atelier, die Maschinen sind gerade noch verräumt und ich muss noch Malerarbeiten machen. Terminlich bin ich flexibel, am Besten passts natürlich immer abends! liebe Grüße, Veronika >>>> > > Theresiengasse 26/14 > 1180 Wien, Austria > Tel: 0043 1 409 64 36 > skype: v_persche > http://www.persche.com

Hi, nachdem ich grad wenig Zeit hab und ich auch weiss, dass mindest 2 regelmässige Lambaheads-Teilnehmer nächsten Montag nicht in Wien sein werden, fällt der Augusttermin aus und das nächste Treffen findet am 6.9. statt. Könnte jemand der sich an sein MOS-Passwort erinnert den Termin nächste Woche bitte aus dem Kalender streichen? Danke, Michi

Vienna IT field salaries (Was: Metalab General Discussion List <metalab@lists.metalab.at>)
by Sergey V. Mikhanov 02 Aug '10

Hi Matthew, Displaimer: I'm an immigrant myself, came from Moscow four years ago, so expect a bit of rant below. The salaries are low given what you pay for living in Vienna. Ignore what locals will tell you about the high standards and low costs of living. Good roads condition, drinkable tapwater, virtually non-existent crime and clean public transport are real, though are something you would expect with such a high taxes (and I guess you can't impress a New Zealander with efficient public transport as much as Muscovite). Low costs of living are completely made up by locals (sorry, folks!). Expect to pay above London prices in an average supermarket, be prepared to know that there's no options for living on tight budget here (considering both food and housing), and I guess you already had a chance to encounter the "low costs" of Viennese estate market when you have paid your "Kaution" and "Provision". I work for big telco here (Java developer with 9+ years of experience) and I'm a full-time employee. The salary range I have observed here is 3000-3800 EUR/month (before taxes), including PM and senior tech positions. I seriously doubt there are higher salaries for non-management IT positions here (everybody is welcome to prove me wrong). I was considering switching to contractor position (my company hires a lot of them), but after talking to taxman I discarded this idea: in my case this would give me ~5% pay increase. What you will get as a contractor is a really nice paycheck during the first year as the taxes during that time will be low for you. What you will lose: 14% of your yearly income as there will be no double salaries on June and December. Here's a tax calculator for your needs: https://www.bmf.gv.at/service/anwend/steuerberech/bruttonetto/_start.htm "lfd. Bezug mtl" is monthly salary, "13./14. Bezug" are two additional salaries (they are subject to lower taxes), "Jahresbezug" -- yearly income. Look at "Netto" row. And no matter what good offer you have now, bear in mind that it's almost impossible to find a nice new job without speaking German. Additionally, the job market here is tiny, so you also can't choose. Couple more remarks on the comments you have already received: > Tax is not only tax but also (obligatory) health/dental, accident > and unemployment insurance Not fully true about dental (fine print about amalgam fillings apply). > can go well over ~10000/month (excl tax) for good positions, such > as "senior" or "teamleader" in a telco or bank I don't believe that. Cheers, Sergey
