Before or after taxes? 30k before seems rather low for western Europe

  That's not unheard of for an entry level position in Berlin.

    If someone is willing to pay 30k to take my teenager from gaming all day long they can have him.

  That's a decent mid-level developer salary in many parts of western europe.

    That's just over €2.2k per month (after USD->EUR conversion). It's on the low end for junior devs in Berlin but not unheard of (although even among entry level positions many would start higher than that). I earned less when I just started working as a programmer (albeit awhile ago). However, after a couple years you can expect to earn significantly more: within about ~15 years I went from ~€2k/m to ~€6k & I'm pretty sure I haven't yet reached my salary ceiling. I'm sure in "bad" markets (Southern Europe and/or smaller towns) you will have worse pay but I would bet in most or all major (North-)Western European cities my experience will not be untypical. I think the main issue is that the term "Western Europe" couples the badly paid south with the better paid north.

  Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece - interestingly, better the weather, worse the wage :)
