No, making around 14-15k as webdev (italy) - the developers are the lowest-earning people in our company.
Where in Italy? I've always considered moving to Italy for the beautiful landscapes, food and the people, but salary as SW was always what kept me from it.
Think that as you are possibly an american, your parents might be at ur age getting a house and perhaps even raising you.
We definitely make a lot of money, but everything nowadays if expensive and the "end-game" objectives are more expensive for us than it was for our parents.
In the end, it's just a number, and you are possibly worse off than the previous generation.

Even after rent, you still end up with more money than most people earn in other places.

That's bullshit. Even after rent, you still end up with more money than most people earn in other places.

It's virtually certain that people in management, sales or any other important part (besides engineering) of any company aren't thinking like this. "How much can I get" is much more constructive way to approach this, compared to "how much do I need".
