Right now I landed my first gig in Italy, i'm getting 25k before taxes. When I told that to my friends that work in Denmark/Sweden/Germany they thought I was joking since for them my salary is not even entry level while here it's almost average for the country. Different Eu countries have wildly different markets and salaries, which is kinda crazy since you just can go and live somewhere else in EU with almost no documents
