Northern Europe has some of the highest salaries in Europe, so that's not a good comparison. Looking from different resources online, it seems the average is around 60k. Spain, for example, has the average of being around 40k and Poland around 30k.
- INTPenis 3y agoI understand, sorry but I was thinking of all the frequent comparisons made with the bay area on this website. But true enough Scandinavia is at the top of european salaries, at least Stockholm. Not down south where I live in Malmö, because the cost of living is much lower.
- fredrikholm 3y agoAre you saying (in combo with first post) that the average SE is paid >50tkr at the company you work at, in Malmö?
- INTPenis 3y agoI work at a company in Stockholm, but I live in Malmö. The developers I work with, who all live in other parts of the country and are all senior, probably make over 50k a month. I don't know their exact salaries obviously.
- fredrikholm 3y agoSo, senior engineers who work in Sthlm make maybe more than the aforementioned 'low' salary. To add context, most juniors to mids make <50k in Malmö, which in annual USD would be closer to ~40k.
- reisse 3y agoI think your conversion rate is wrong. 50k SEK monthly is 600k SEK annually, which is only 60k USD.
- fredrikholm 3y agoCheers, typo! (my previous post had an extra 0)
- reisse 3y agoNot the OP, but have a data point: the company I worked for offered ~40k SEK/month in Stockholm for junior devs, ~60k SEK/month for senior devs. That was two years ago, probably numbers are somewhat higher now. And IMO while the numbers are okayish, the difference between them is ridiculous. Given how promotions in EU are mostly dependent on tenure, +50% for seniority are mere 5-7% yearly increases.
