  5k for someone doing support, remote, strictly Mon-Fri, based in Portugal.

  You are an optimistic man, that's for sure.

  That's gross salary. You get paid 2500 as an IT engineer in Lisbon, net, after 50% taxes. You also pay for experience, skills.

  2500€ net would be a very decent, above-average salary for an IT support role in Lisbon.

  However, you’re not based in Lisbon, there is no 50% tax rate, have limited availability, and we don't know if you are an engineer or can evaluate experience since there is no LinkedIn or CV provided. But considering your history in the forum, we can take a guess.

  This thread seemed really familiar. So I went looking - there is a linkedin in the previous similar thread opened by OP.

  I’m going to be honest.

  When someone truly needs a job urgently, they usually don’t start by setting salary floors and rejecting offers. Most of us who’ve been parents and lost jobs had to take whatever was available, even below our expectations, and sometimes work two jobs just to survive.

  Wanting fair pay is fine but, in an emergency, income matters more than ideals. From the outside, this reads less like desperation and more like selectiveness.

  I hope you find what you’re looking for, but urgency and flexibility usually go hand in hand.

  No need to judge.
  Help if you can.

  This isn’t judgment it’s an observation based on experience.

  Many of us have been in the same position and had to prioritize any income over conditions. Pointing that out isn’t attacking OP, it’s describing how urgency usually looks in practice.

  If help is what OP is asking for, clarity and flexibility tend to get more results.

  Olá Miguel,
  I've been next to Leiria, on some clients, and for sure what I've seen it is totally scary.
  I'm based in Lisbon, but let me know if you need anything else in that area!

  I know a guy, who's in Germany and works in-office. Not very close, but he's in tech support (5/2) of a hardware vendor everyone here knows very well.

  And his monthly numbers are very close to this. He's been with them for a few years though.
