For people not living there but curious about trying it out: What's a reasonable range for "very well paid job in France"? Is it all cash or is there equity?

  For a entry-level developer in a large French company you would aim a 50k€. But this is just the bare salary - you will have to take off about 20-30% for various taxes. But then you get free healthcare and education, and retirement. Some companies will have a bonus ("intéressement / participation") which can be an extra 10 to 20% once a year. You would typically have a straight salary, no equity or something like that. When you look at the most senior positions, this is about 130k€. But it really depends on the city, on the industry etc. Generally speaking your salary is not that big, bt you have extra advantages (such as the social committee, a company-funded organization that will reimburse part of your vacation costs, give gifts at Christmas, ...)

A new grad in France in engineering or development gets more often in the 40k€. The most senior positions in most companies plateau around 90k€. In some companies in Paris it's higher, but that's the exception.

      Yes, it really depends on the company and place. Mine is in the Paris region and this are the levels I hire at.

  At 62k€ before taxes you're in the 10% top earners in the country. That's about 41-47k€ after taxes depending on your situation.
