How much is your net income? I feel horribly underpaid. I have 3130€ net.

Three years exp, I’m making about 15% less

Slightly above, feel the same.

presuming you work a full 5-day-week, we're about similar in our daily rate. but i prefer having a three-day-weekend, and i earn enough so i can say "i earn enough".

i wouldn't complain about a bit more, though. got some private projects i want to take up to a side business, and that could use a bit of capital.

Dude. That's a lot. I don't have that with 7y of exp. But then again I live in the most taxed country in the world so gross net is almost 50% difference

3130€ / week?

Well… I’m making about 2100€ net with 5 years of experience and I’m really thinking about switching to another company

Per week, per month or per year?

Since it's €, we're most likely talking per month here.

The real question is the location. 3k in Slovakia is not the same as 3k in Germany for example.

@bebetter so British.
Who calculates in weeks?

It's like measuring the length of a field in bathtubs.

Net income... per week, month, year, hour, minute, second, day, what are we comparing exactly?

3k a day... that's a lot.
3k a week, that's a lot
3k a month, that's pretty good
3k a year, you need to change country

🤷‍♂️

Why do you feel horribly underpaid?

currently 240€ per month per what is 3 days of 8hours weekly.

@scor I’m American haha I have no idea how European pay cycles are setup

My net income is 2.5k€/mo, but I know I’m underpaid. I could expect to double my gross income if I just accepted basically any offer that flies my way. Can’t be bothered to calculate what that’d make in net after taxes and shit.

If you had the same taxation as here in funland and were doing that much net, considering you aren’t a senior (or some other position supposed to earn more than a ”standard dev”, whatever that may be), you’d be paid pretty much the average I’d say from the top of my head.

I'm on less than that...by a fair bit.

But I like my job.

But I will be asking for a raise this year.

3400ish€ in Ireland with 11years exp

@scor those per day contracting jobs tho

About 4700 euro but I have 8 years experience, I half kill myself learning code, and jumped around a bit to get my current position, partly because I am almost the sole wage earner for me and my wife atm

Just saying the € sign is a prefix. People who know that get better pay🤡

I do a bit better (assuming monthly figure) but still not paid what I'm worth. Got a bit screwed over by promises by a dude that left.
That said why do you feel under paid and what does your benefits package look like? Pension, bonus, extra paid days off can be significant (it is for me).

@webketje we got 49.50% but also less scales. Don't know what wins (or better said losses) here.

@hjk101 good point about the other perks. I've had all (car, fuel, internet, pension, hospital insurance, bonuses) etc for so long I started taking them for granted.

I'm in a "medior" position and I on about €2500/mo net. It's a decent income, but it does not match my responsibilities well enough imo (I'm held responsible for a transition to 'the cloud' for our product)

Junior (2 years) and around €3500 net

This guy is bragging!

@alexbrooklyn 😲 where are you from?

@just8littleBit The Netherlands

How's the cost of living? Comparable to other EU countries? If so that's a very decent salary..

@alexbrooklyn you are either:
* trolling
* a genius
* freelancing for a financial institution
* exempt from taxes
* working in a very niche market with high demand & low supply
* doing shady stuff on the side

Though I did hear the Netherlands offer really high IT salaries

@webketje I've been working for a big financial institution for 2 years now, fresh out of university. I'm not trolling I swear :(
