A lot of companies hire devs in Eastern Europe in what they call "b2b", paying you a salary that is peanuts to them but might be better compared to other offers in your country of residence.
Most devs accept, because it looks convenient, but you can do much better! 1/3

If you accept a job as an employee, ok, but if they only offer you to go b2b, then that's contracting, and contracting rates should apply, not just a "salary" and whatever benefits.
Many companies offer diff salaries according to location too, even when 100% remote (BS)! 2/3

To give you an idea of the daily rate you should be asking for a Senior #Scala dev, here are some references.
UK: £700
EU: €800
US: $1000
Doesn't matter where you live. If you work for foreign companies as b2b, use these initial rates to start negotiating. Value yourself! 3/3

Realizing this got a lot of traction, so remember these are contracting rates.
It is much easier to be an employee, that's why contracting rates seem higher, but as a contractor you need to deal with taxes, accounting, sick leave (no work no pay), vacation, health insurance, etc
