I kinda doubt any job requiring that much experience wouldn't offer benefits and a higher salary. I made more than that at my last two jobs with no more than a HS diploma

its a exaggerated joke based on many job descriptions like it.

Those types of job listings are usually H1-B visa scams. They have to try to fill the job with Americans before being allowed to bring in foreign workers. So they put out ridiculous, impossible to fill job qualification to exclude any American workers, then bring in foreign workers and pay them slave wages. This type of nonsense is rampant in the tech industry. Everyone knows about it, but no one seems willing to do anything about it.

A business owner was talking to my boss about the difficulties a friend had hiring millenials to fill positions in a another business he had just started. Couldn't get anywhere with it, so he said he hired a guy to help him I guess appeal to millenials. The guy changed one thing: "Now hiring," to "Now hiring Management positions." Nothing about the job changed, but he suddenly had a lot more applications from people he had hoped to hire. These were some of the first hires, so "Accounting Manager," and several other managers are only in charge of one person: themselves. He made sure they knew that it was only a title, but apparently it was a big enough change. He thought it was funny that the same job could get so different reactions based on a meaningless change he was more than willing to make.

When I see those listed on job search sites like Monster, Indeed or Glassdoor, I report them as fraudulent.

In Spain, some of the higher wages for people with university degrees start at 1,000€ per month

Be that as it may, it exchanges to $1176 USD and in the US , its a common "tradition" to be paid every two weeks and it comes out to $588. That's still not a livable wage here. What's the cost of living like there?

It really depends, the countryside is much cheaper than the cities but the wages are much lower, around 800€ in some agricultural jobs. In the cities, everything's more expensive but the wages are higher, and you can buy some more things than in the countryside. We live alright though, we never had a lot of money and we have a high life quality @criis can also tell you that, she's also Spanish

That's good to know. I suppose that with a more robust public transportation system in place, it would be far easier to forgo owning a car entirely, freeing up a big chunk of your budget.

In the big cities you have public transport, in the countryside you may have a bus that only goes to the closest big city
