Is 36k that insane? That's the average starting salary of French engineers and some PhD-level researchers from relatively well-ranked universities. 1/3 of which are compulsory taxes (not including income tax), so in the end it's about 25k of net disposable income per year.
- lovich 10y agoHealthcare is fairly expensive in the us and rent is fairly high in the Boston area. It's not the same time period but in 2014 I was paying 1800 a month for a 1 bedroom to be within a 15 minute walk of the second to last station on the light rail system, and it wasn't overly expensive.
- digitalzombie 10y agoIt is insane. I started at the bottom of recession 2009 at a university for 46k. I'm sure it depends on geography and living cost but 36k is very low imo for a private company. Public companies such as public university, government, and such still pay a bit above that on top of good compensations (healthcare, vacations, etc...). This is USA of course. France in general could be different in term of tax, healthcare, etc...
