Heyy ranters! I'm starting a junior job in my country and I wanted to know what is your average payroll for a junior position in your country?

Depends on the role.

Junior java dev in my country can earn 600-1100€/month after taxes. Depends on a company

Here they are giving 1100€ with taxes and the minimum wage is 550€. With this question I'm trying to understand if I'm being giving a fair wage :) I'm new to the market.

As a software engineer with a bachelors degree in business informatics and three years experience (parallel to the study) I get 3300€ (~2100€ after taxes). Other companies would pay more. I'm in Germany.

@JNuno007 Well.. If I were you I'd see if I could live with it. If yes - I'd take it and stay there until I grow into Mid's shoes (~a year). And as a mid dev I could swap companies and THEN look for a decent salary.

Junior role is very temporary. I see it as a little more advanced internship. I wouldn't waste time looking for better bucks at this stage :) The stack, knowledge I could get, a value of me as a specialist I could grow to -- these are the properties I'd look for in my first job. Salary - ... meh. It's still gonna be less than you'd like :)

But that's just me. The final decision is yours ;)

@Sumafu junior? OP asked about junior level

@netikras yes, because my company doesn’t care about my experience while the study (by the way in this company) it is "just" a junior role. And the payment doesn’t care about my experience either.

Around 1k€ here too

@netikras thank you very much that's really a nice advise. I really think this company can bring me experience and also education, and you are right, I should focus more on other conditions besides the money. Thanks for the enlightenment really :) one year and I can ask/search for better salary if I really deserve it.

Yes, money is not all. I could change to a company with way more payment next month, but my current company has so much "soft skills" that it would be definitely a bad change.

@Sumafu yeah the company's environment should be the best. With this I can really conclude that I should go to this company and build my soft skills, learn everything I can and money is the last thing I need to worry. Is not a bad salary at all. The other conditions can leverage any wage gap I can have

@JNuno007 what country are you from?

In here undefined country the salary is around 1000 undefined units. Hope this helps.

@Wack I'm from Portugal

@JNuno007 what langueges/stack will you be working with?

@Wack I don't know yet because I'm only going in August/September. Depends on the projects that will be assigned to me at the time. The offering was made for NodeJS.

Have you seen this: https://quora.com/What-is-the-salar...

@Wack nice! Didn't see this. So with this post I must feel pretty good then. However, this was posted in 2016 the salary was lower than today

@JNuno007 , I am actually supprised how low the wages are in Portugal. It's about half from normal European wages?

@thatDude yes and the cost of living doubled... I'm living in a small city and that's no big deal, but the major ones the rent is 3 times higher than 2 years ago
