No it is not. Even if you are talking about the average software dev salary across Europe, Thibault is way more experienced, and he lives in France.

- iLoveOncall 4y agoFrance has very low developer salaries. While 50K is towards the bottom of the barrel with his experience, it's definitely not uncommon either.
- eastbound 4y ago50k€ = 75k€ total cost for the employer, and it used to mean 100k$ before the devaluation of the euro. But on this spreadsheet, he wrote 52k TCO, to that’s 35k gross or 26k€ net, ie 2200 per month, it’s very low for an entrepreneur. I personally can’t find developers for 40 (junior) - 65k€ (decently senior), so, even though recruiters tell me I’m offering 8-10k too much, the actual market may be much, much higher.
- rozenmd 4y agoI moved to France in May this year, remote dev jobs for mid-senior were starting at 85k euros base. Which compared to international companies hiring remotely, was very very low.
- ShockedUnicorn 4y agoI used to make $28k/year pre-tax as a junior dev (java+frontend, quit job 2 years ago), so your recruiters aren't that wrong.
- ohbtvz 4y agoIn his AMA he wrote that that's what he earns before income tax. In French parlance this means after all employer and employee social deductions.
