Anyone feeling like sharing insights about what it's like in the EU? It will probably highly depend on the country/region (wild guessing that salaries in eastern EU are lower) but these salaries are beyond my wildest dreams.
I live in Belgium, work for an international company, I have a master's degree in computer science, speak three languages fluently (French, English, Spanish) and have been working for 10 years as a software engineer, I currently get paid 2500 EUR net per month (+ a company car, fuel card and some other minor benefits [lunch ticket and such]).
Quick back-of-the-envelope calculation:
2500,0 EUR (net, started at 1750 EUR)
× 1,7 (various taxes)
x 13 (everybody has a "13th month" in this field)
--------
55250 EUR (gross)
Yes, anything related to health is cheaper here but even if you factor that in...
