One of the biggest advantages of working as a software developer is that your skills are highly in demand as many countries are experiencing a shortage in finding suitable qualified domestic candidates to fill the many unfilled vacancies in this field. As a software developer you might consider relocating to or within Europe in order to get a higher salary, better quality of life as well as the opportunity to experience a new country and culture. In this video I have broken down the salaries of software developers in various countries in Europe including:
0:00 - Intro
1:51 - Switzerland
3:00 - France
4:13 - Germany
5:10 - Sweden
6:05 - Luxembourg
6:40 - Netherlands
7:35 - Italy
8:30 - Belgium
9:45 - Finland
10:38 - United Kingdom
11:38 - Ireland
This is great! Thank you brother. Need more info on Belgium if possible 👏👏
Really informative. Thank youS
I think a great follow up video would be to focus on remote work (i.e., living in a European country but working remotely for a company in another European country, or the U.S.)
Also, I'd like to know about other E.U. countries, but specifically Spain and Portugal.
Thanks again!
I live in Germany and I make 2400 Euro a month in an office job, basicly I do nothing for 8 hours. I was thinking about finding a better career but I dont see the point of learning software development if I am going to make the same money while doing a lot more work.
Same ! 😂
hey, thank you for this video, can you please make detailed video for italy?
Very low wages in Europe. It is not surprising that Europe lags far behind in Tech.
These are high, I live in France and anyone who makes 2000+ outside Paris is in a very good place. Rents are generally not higher than 700E and food is really really cheap
Lol what? Its hard to get by on 2000 per month in the netherlands. I get 3950 on 40 h a week with 2 year exp.
@batman pointless and bitter comment
@batsy Dispite the fact that Europe is much more beatiful than the US. At least for me. Except for New York wich is very beautiful.
You need to factor in cost of living before comparing salaries. 😊
Hello, thanks for the video, I need to ask the below:
When you say "after taxes" salary, does it include the benefits and everything? Does it include the fact that some European countries gets paid 13.92 months per year?
Your videos are very informative and to the point.. short and full of information.. keep up the good work..
Thanks a lot!
Italian here, just graduated from University in Milan. My first job offer was..500€ before taxes. This is italy guys, don't came here working. All IT engineers are going in France, Germany and UK to work.
Obviously I rejected the offer
Hi. Here in Spain things are not better. Even though I get 1650 per month, which is ok, I’m studying programming to get out of here in two years (Germany or Austria if possible)
@@maedhros0111 so my question is, how do you pay your rent with this salary or salary in italy?
@@batuhanisk2975 you cut costs so you only buy whats neccesary and try to not waste any money
500 euros is a way too low, man. My first offer was 40k ral annuale but I had to decline because I had not finished my PhD yet and it was in Rome. And yes, I'm a foreigner without proficient knowledge of Italian
@@IoT_ 40k RAL? Bro tell me the company name haha
Thanks for the video . Could you please confirm the high salary for Germany and Ireland .
I believe that several vacancies in Germany ,highly experienced seniors can easily clear 80-90k on average .
With regards to Ireland , the average is way higher than 45k for software devs/engs . It is closer to the 60-70k range with 100-120k as an average for the top end of the spectrum for seniors
Note : FAANG compensations are not included in the above salary ranges for both countries .
Average in ireland €40000
Your videos are very helpful 👍
in Italy, you will be lucky to get 500 that if they don't ask you the famous question,
"would u like to work for free?''
Exactly hahah, italia bel paese dicevano 🤣
True story 😔
🤣😂😂😂
Informative thanks from Morocco 🇲🇦
You're always welcome here in Belgium!
Great content!! Im currently living in belgium and im trying to follow a career in web development, but honestly, the salary is really unmotivating.
I'm there too. Freelance/independent/own company, typically has daily rates 400-800.
Hello Jason, could you tell me if there are web dev masters in Belgium ? I only found masters in ds, networks or too much theoretical computer science. Thanks!
I guess there are masters in web if i understood correctly i'm from Morocco 🇲🇦 search about most known universities and Grandes écoles in the frensh part .@@CyberCodeCracker
Very nice and informative video!!!
Could you make a video especially for FAANG? If you please.
Zijn dit de gemiddelde startsalarisen? Anders valt het nogal tegen als ik het vergelijk met mijn huidige functie binnen de techniek met MBO 3
good video. I am a software development student from Mexico. I have the right to request an international exchange to study a semester abroad thanks to my GPA and your video has been very useful. Do you have any recommendations from a student's point of view?
My main recommendation from a student's point of view is to factor in which country you might want to work or study in (after you graduate) before you pick which country you want to study abroad in. The reason for this is if you can show that you can do well at a local university it is much easier to get into a university in that country for grad school as well as get a job in that country.
Finland as a country looks the most attractive for me but I'm disappointed by the low income. The taxes there are high
Keep in mind that if you work for a large company your salary will scew higher and while your net salary might be lower than expected due to the high taxes it also comes with a lot of benefits especially if you are moving to Finland with kids.
Hi..Which of these countries have more opportunities in software engineering jobs like more companies.Also do you know which county is good to migrate to w.r.t PR,cost of living etc.
Ireland, Germany
What is about Portugal do you have any idea.
the after taxes calculations, in Germany, is closer to 50% after taxes if you're not married with no kids.
I'll exclude the entry level jobs. Gross yearly salary for mid tier and + starts in any EU country at 45000€, but top 8 countries for IT (Germany, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, Finland, Denmark, Norway and UK) start at 100k
Please make a dedicated video on Netherlands tax regime which is recently released for foreign expats
Can you do malta?
Top salaries in the UK are much higher than 62000£.
@No Name No, according to him it's top, ans average is 38000. Have you watched the video ?
The best are Swiss and Poland. Other low salary high cost of living
Thanks,how about uk
Hi I need ur help .... I'm in portugal now.... looking in IT hardware technician support service
Thanks for the detailed compilation. Can I please request to explain on special tax regime for expats for Italy. I would be relocating to Italy for work and I have doubts on special tax. Oh btw.. I am into IT doing consultant role with 12 + yrs of exp.
needs european passport bro , indians only refugees
Hi @pankajdeka did you move to Italy, if yes can we have a discussion in person on your experience.
Hi
Will you please tell me Senior Java developer salary with 5 years experience in Latvia??
3.5 net in average. But might go up to 6k net per month, depends on your soft skills.
Wow, this is so low compared to the US. I guess these are salaries for local companies, which tend to be 50% lower than global companies, like Google, Amazon, Meta.
yea , in switzerland with google or meta i think junior is about 170.000 € x year , taxes are low but cost of living a lot higher, unless you have alredy a house is not raccomended
It's not that these salaries are low, it's that the the Us salaries are ridiculously high
Very few people work at these companies. I rejected interviews at Google two times already
Idk 2000 - 3000 montly euros seems pretty average, tending to low doesn't it? :(
once you have about 2 years of experience under your belt, you can expect average of 75k euros
thats bs, they get around 6-10k per month
Depends on your company and how good you are :)
Can you do a break down for Amsterdam, for an expat from Canada
In Berlin salaries goes easily over 100k for seniors SE
and half of it goes to taxes
I don’t mean to sound cocky but these kind of yearly wages are extremely low. What you make in a year in all of these places, in the U.S, you make it with bonuses and RSU’s alone. The salary is at least double or triple compared to EU countries.
yeah, but the cost of living and rent is double if not triple too, keep that in mind
@@kospiert676 Even after the increase of cost of living and healthcare insurance you still make a lot more compared to European salary’s. My coworker is from Germany and he says he has a lot more left over compared to when he was back home.
@@learntostrafe yes this is true. I live in Germany and luckly earn over 100k, 5200€ after taxes. But I hear often of people who earn just 2000€ as software devs. Wonder how they live…
@@Micha-bp5om I earn just below 2k net but my experience is not that great. I think if you have amazing coding skills (closer to an architect), you can easily ask the salary you want. I sure know that I earn approximately what I can provide as a dev. :)
@@whatsupbudbud How can you guys live in the EU for 2k, I work as a swe in a third country (Vietnam) make above 3k and still feel it not enough :)
hello ... can I work from Iraq for Europe as web or mobile developer , including these countries ?///////////////////??
سلام من المغرب لابن العراق
What about spain?
skype is not from sweeden
As a software dev I had 1400€/month after taxes in a company that makes 200M+ yearly revenue. When the hell are we going to unionize in Europe and demand higher pay for the work that we do? It's preposterous!
@Gian GG Slovenia. Glad to say I've bumped that up to 2400net/month now by changing jobs. It's still peanuts compared to what US devs earn though.
try to geo arbitrage @@keepfeatherinitbrothaaaa
What about Denmark and Norway?
Hi I have 12lpa offer in India and also my current company giving me a chance to go poland I want to know how much i can ask accordingly indian salary
hey hi, I work in a IT service based company from past 1.7 years working abroad is my dream can I get job abroad directly from india? if yes how hard it is?
@@hemanthpothala356 Hey, you can apply directly in abroad base company or sometimes your company gives you a chance to go there.
@@VMB_Vlogs I work in small MNC so no chance from company. have you moved to poland?
Which has the highest salary in europe countries
Switzerland
swiss, however your cost of living is way higher than the other countries.
Poland?
Italy is definitely not the 3rd largest economy. Not even the 3rd largest in Europe
If you give it a quick search you can find that it's third in europe
@@italianmoistcr1t1k4l5 Nope, Germany, United Kingdom and France make up the top 3
@@italianmoistcr1t1k4l5 Third in what? Treating jobseekers like hobos?
@@tidumarco😂 ragione
What programming language expertise do they need?
id say 50% front end trelated techs (react, js, angular) 40% java with spring boot framework, the rest is a mix between python and C# .NET, for backend is definitley mostly java
@@sharkpyro93 java is for losers
Salaries in Europe also depend on the overall work experience. A freshly graduate would make significantly less than a person with 20+ years.
This is applied to every country.
medior after 4-5years, senior after 8-10 years. I'm Belgian.
@@vu1m85 That's not true for the US.
ı was here for norway :(
WHY IS SALARY LOW IN ITALY COMPARE TO THEIR COUNTERPART LIKE GERMANY FRANCE ETC ? MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE ITALY HAS LOW STANDARD OF LIVING BUT IT IS A BIG LIE . SO SAD PEOPLE ARE LOOKING ELSE WHERE AFTER SOME YEARS OF EXPERIENCE DUE TO THE LOW SALARY HERE
I'm Italian software developer. Never met someone who earn 2700 euros per month.
is it higher than 2700 euros/ month or lower?
@@claudiuciobanu6646 Sorry, I didn't make attention enought to the video. For a junior, it is around 1500 euros net (1900 gross). For a senior, It Is around 2400 euros net (4300 gross). However, for a good software engineer it is not impossible to earn that much as 2700 net, even if I have never meet someone who make this amount.
@@claudiuciobanu6646 lower
Candy Crush as a tech company sounds like a joke.
What a mess!! Monthly, yearly, after and before taxes.... No way to clear compare!
Very sad, I thought I had a low salary but seeing how much people get in EU and how much taxes they pay, I can say that moving to EU isn't worth it at all. With these salaries you won't be able to afford shit. US is best for programmers and they are the best technology wise for a reason - they value their workers time, effort and work. The low salaries of EU tech companies will be their downfall, since no one wants to work efficiently for a salary that can't compensate for a basic life.
You will have healthcare vacation days child care general safety no shoothings safety for your kids nice infrastructure and public transportation also higher standards of living work live balance food safety and living in the happiest countries on the planet .. money wont buy you any of that in the usa
@@winwinmilieudefensie7757 If I have 3x salary I can take days off that aren't paid. Almost all tech jobs give a free private healthcare plan. School shooting are extremely rare in USA and you're more likely to be stabbed by a immigrant in EU. Worklife balance is useless if you get paid next to nothing.
@@winwinmilieudefensie7757 african immigrants doesn't agree with SAFETY
@@winwinmilieudefensie7757it's funny to listen when the friend of mine which car had its transmission broken , he had to cancel his vacations because he couldn't afford them anymore. And yes, he's a senior c# software developer. So, you can leave that bullshit about free healthcare (which is not free) and free education (which is not free neither).
What is the salary range of Network Engineer in germany and italy?
In Germany about €50,000 per year before taxes and in Italy about €33,000 per year
In italy you get an incredible offer of 1100 per month, after taxes it will be around 1000€. Rent is 500, bill of gas+electricity is 200. 200 euros for groceries. With 100 euros you fulfil the car tank and there you go, you left with nothing
@@damurichannel please tell me how can you pay 100 € of taxes in Italy. 1100 € easy can be cutoff with 300 € of taxes, if not more.
@@tidumarco hahah you are right, I was being too optimistic in that comment
Wtf Spain where there’s lots of cheap programmers and good ones are not mention? lol this is a clickbait
Europe is quite diff than US. Salaries are more private than ppl think so this is based on… well idk xD
I recommend going to indeed and you’ll find all the info you need. Btw, Spain and Italy are the more worth it . Cheap countries and huge salaries when you gain experience. UK is expensive af as Ireland
UK isn’t eu
SAD
This video is a joke. Idk what data you used.
Finland 1600 Euros per month? This is ridiculous !!!!!!!!
Even students earn around 1800 Euros per month by doing part time food deliveries...
LoL. But this is true😂
