Hilbert - I edited my original reply out because I just realized who you are. A few other things just became massively clear too. Frankly, I'm surprised at your lack of understanding on how these things work. Or, perhaps, you're right and I'm simply entirely wrong about software engineers in Sweden. You would, obviously, know pretty well. I hope, for your sake, I'm just massively wrong.

However, if you're really getting paid what you said, I'd consider looking around. Although, you're obviously not doing .NET now based on some of the posts you've made so I have no idea what you should be expecting. You're clearly out of touch with how things work in the .net world now.

I don't entirely understand why knowing who I am would prevent you from discussing with me, assuming that I don't live next door. So in other words; no you don't know me. I have however seen you post multiple times, I to some extend know you.

You are still trying to tell me how the job situation is in my country, even after I've linked to multiple sources so that you could get a lay of the land. I obviously know other programmers, and since some of them are what I call "friends" (~10 .net, ~6 JavaEE, ~2 other), I actually know how much money they make and it supports my view of things. You don't have to hope anything for me, if I don't like my situation I'll do like you are planing to and move.

You are surprised at my lack of understanding of how these things work, but I'm quite sure that I've lived in more countries than you, worked in more countries than you and I've belonged to more "classes" than you. These statements are assumptions but I'm pretty sure they are correct. Still, I'm the one that doesn't understand.

You're attempt to give me advice regarding my profession in my country. This with no actually information about salary statistics, my work history, my knowledge, my age, my IQ, my creativity level and my social skills and you call me pretentious. I mean before I could understand that you were misinformed and I was kind of messing with you while still providing some information, but now...I really don't get it.

So I have to ask, are you clinically insane man? I mean really, there has to be something wrong with you. I'm decent at personality disorders but I don't know you well enough to help/call you out. If I had to guess (I don't, but I'm going to) I'd say histrionic, narcissistic or asperger? Feels like you are a bit too focused for ADHD. Yeah I know, they are far from each other but they have overlapping traits. I never really say narcissistic as most of us are [more or less] at a young age, but damn, your balls should have dropped by now and facts should be able to convince even you.

And once again you managed to make a ****ed up assumption. "You're obviously not doing .NET now based on some of the posts you've made", lol..? 70% of my work is with [multiple] .Net projects I manage/code, rest is JavaEE. I've linked to recent articles with actual .Net salaries and it supports what I'm saying but still... You have to be out of touch with reality or do you think that I'm nit picking the information I'm linking so I can fool you not to come to Sweden? I know for a fact that I make more than most of my peers and your telling me to switch jobs and that I'm out of touch with the .Net world? You are funnziz, much like Harry Dunne.

Kind of broke what I said in the previous post but you trigger my raging dickyness. It be funz, but...back to one liners. I think.
