There is data regarding the national average net income - this article for example, from april 2012: http://www.romania-insider.com/average-salary-in-romania-almost-flat-in-february-biggest-rise-in-tobacco-industry/54699/ http://www.romania-insider.com/average-salary-in-romania-alm... Regarding payments to juniors and interns, I know it from the market - I know some salaries of my colleagues. When I started in IT - in 2006, I started with about 230 euros net, which was also decent. I am talking here about Cluj-Napoca (the second largest city in the country), not the capital, where salaries are better. So, if you want to live in a place and earn 4-5 times the national average income while doing what you like (programming), come to Romania :))
