Significado
Earning a good amount of money.
Contexto cultural
It is often considered impolite to ask directly 'Какая у тебя зарплата?' (What is your salary?). Instead, people use phrases like 'высокая зарплата' to speak in general terms. The concept of '13th salary' (тринадцатая зарплата) is a common year-end bonus. A 'high salary' often implies the presence of such bonuses. What is considered a 'high salary' in Moscow (e.g., 200,000 RUB) might be seen as an impossible dream in a small Siberian village, where 50,000 RUB is 'high'. In the Russian tech world, 'высокая зарплата' is often benchmarked against global USD/EUR rates, even if paid in Rubles.
