I live in Germany and I make 2400 Euro a month in an office job, basicly I do nothing for 8 hours. I was thinking about finding a better career but I dont see the point of learning software development if I am going to make the same money while doing a lot more work.
So true, software developers in Europe are such fucking nerd, they think they are smart, but they don't even know the simple rule of supply and demand, when there is such shortage and no one else can do it, you can charge as much as you like, but NO they settle for low salary and work like fucking slave 12 hours a day
These are high, I live in France and anyone who makes 2000+ outside Paris is in a very good place. Rents are generally not higher than 700E and food is really really cheap
Italian here, just graduated from University in Milan. My first job offer was..500€ before taxes. This is italy guys, don't came here working. All IT engineers are going in France, Germany and UK to work. Obviously I rejected the offer
Hi. Here in Spain things are not better. Even though I get 1650 per month, which is ok, I’m studying programming to get out of here in two years (Germany or Austria if possible)
500 euros is a way too low, man. My first offer was 40k ral annuale but I had to decline because I had not finished my PhD yet and it was in Rome. And yes, I'm a foreigner without proficient knowledge of Italian
I'm a software developer in the UK, the salaries mentioned in the video are ridiculously low, £28k would be what a receptionist earns and the legal minimum wage would be over £25k, that's for the lowest of the low. I believe a junior developer would earn near £50k and a senior developer a 6 figure salary.
Really informative. Thank youS I think a great follow up video would be to focus on remote work (i.e., living in a European country but working remotely for a company in another European country, or the U.S.) Also, I'd like to know about other E.U. countries, but specifically Spain and Portugal. Thanks again!
Keep in mind that if you work for a large company your salary will scew higher and while your net salary might be lower than expected due to the high taxes it also comes with a lot of benefits especially if you are moving to Finland with kids.
I'll exclude the entry level jobs. Gross yearly salary for mid tier and + starts in any EU country at 45000€, but top 8 countries for IT (Germany, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, Finland, Denmark, Norway and UK) start at 100k
As a software dev I had 1400€/month after taxes in a company that makes 200M+ yearly revenue. When the hell are we going to unionize in Europe and demand higher pay for the work that we do? It's preposterous!
Thanks for the video . Could you please confirm the high salary for Germany and Ireland . I believe that several vacancies in Germany ,highly experienced seniors can easily clear 80-90k on average . With regards to Ireland , the average is way higher than 45k for software devs/engs . It is closer to the 60-70k range with 100-120k as an average for the top end of the spectrum for seniors Note : FAANG compensations are not included in the above salary ranges for both countries .
I don’t mean to sound cocky but these kind of yearly wages are extremely low. What you make in a year in all of these places, in the U.S, you make it with bonuses and RSU’s alone. The salary is at least double or triple compared to EU countries.
@@kospiert676 Even after the increase of cost of living and healthcare insurance you still make a lot more compared to European salary’s. My coworker is from Germany and he says he has a lot more left over compared to when he was back home.
@@learntostrafe yes this is true. I live in Germany and luckly earn over 100k, 5200€ after taxes. But I hear often of people who earn just 2000€ as software devs. Wonder how they live…

However, for a good software engineer it is not impossible to earn that much as 2700 net, even if I have never meet someone who make this amount.
Hello, thanks for the video, I need to ask the below: When you say "after taxes" salary, does it include the benefits and everything? Does it include the fact that some European countries gets paid 13.92 months per year?
Bro, salaries in western Europe are pathetic! I live in Serbia and I make after tax 3300EUR without stock bonuses, and 4300EUR with stock bonuses. But in Serbia everything is much cheaper than in western Europe.
good video. I am a software development student from Mexico. I have the right to request an international exchange to study a semester abroad thanks to my GPA and your video has been very useful. Do you have any recommendations from a student's point of view?
My main recommendation from a student's point of view is to factor in which country you might want to work or study in (after you graduate) before you pick which country you want to study abroad in. The reason for this is if you can show that you can do well at a local university it is much easier to get into a university in that country for grad school as well as get a job in that country.

Very sad, I thought I had a low salary but seeing how much people get in EU and how much taxes they pay, I can say that moving to EU isn't worth it at all. With these salaries you won't be able to afford shit. US is best for programmers and they are the best technology wise for a reason - they value their workers time, effort and work. The low salaries of EU tech companies will be their downfall, since no one wants to work efficiently for a salary that can't compensate for a basic life.
