#42I have worked in Vienna 2014/2015 (meteorological company) and Melbourne (big 4 bank) present. Vienna annual salary was 34k Euro. Melbourne annual salary is 67k Euro. Europe pay sucks.
I wonder what the tax load is for both? Or at least, for Vienna, I know what it is here in Australia :)

#43The salary scale for jobs paid according to tariff in the electronic (IG Metall) or chemical industry in Germany ends at around 100k€. This can be reached if you stay at the same company for a reasonably long time and don't fuck up. This is far from entry level salary though and most people only reach this in their 30ier or 40ies.
Senior technical expert and management positions are usually paid above tariff, starting at around 100k€.
There are plenty of positions in the big tech companies and software that are paid above 100k€. It's just very unlikely to get there if you are straight from school. Also, you won't have much luck finding >100k€ positions in the eastern part of Germany.

Well I don't know for those two countries, but I'm happy with my 'only' 50k with "free" healthcare, schools, etc...
Not going younger so I reaaaally care about free healthcare

Both are before tax. I think Austrian tax was higher.

#47Earlier quoted context omitted.
Oh yes of course, I totally forgot about our rich Swiss friends. Salaries close to SF are possible there I heard.
The living costs are also extremely high there (Also in a SF spirit) - For an impression of this see the big mac index.
But that is mostly compensated my relatively low tax rates.

#48You asked when Europe was mostly at sleep. At least most of the ones doing that much.
In Berlin this is a quite high salary. However, I do know a few people who are doing 100+
It's mostly CEO, COO, CTOs at startups after their B rounds. It's also good B2B Sales people. But I also know developers who make this much.
Side note: This is huge in Berlin and as some mentioned before you already covered health care etc.

#49Where I live (a nordic country) the median for architect level positions is about 4000-5000e/month (we don't talk about yearly salaries here).
After taxes you get about 3000-3500e per month.
All tax information is public here and the magazines publish yearly lists of people earning over 100000eur (salary+possible capital gains). The lists usually never contain anybody doing "low level" work (ie. not CEO level etc.). And actually very few people earn that in salary alone.

Can you please elaborate more on the type of work these developers you are referring to are doing?
