£18k (€22.2k, or 1850 €/month) for a programmer is significantly less than what you'd get in Germany or Austria for the same position. My very first job in the game industry paid almost 50% more than that & that was some years ago.
I believe in Austria the legal minimum (from the Kollektivvertrag) you can get paid as a programmer is 2.1k €/month, 14 times a year (so €29.4k/year) and most people start above that minimum.
- gambiting 12y ago:-( This makes me sad,especially since some of my friends decided to stay at uni to do their PhDs, and their stipends are higher than what I am earning,and they also don't have to pay tax on it. So I think I have chosen the worst paying career a programmer can choose.
