I find odd such low wages, also in Spain... I have an impression that taxi drivers or fishermen make much more... don't they?

Don't know about other professions but Spain (and Portugal) are ridiculously low paying employers of programmers and technical people in general.

Before tax, that was exactly 1700EUR per month * 14 (here we get paid 2 extra months). After tax it was about 1300EUR per month.

It was my highest paying job to date here, at a startup of 4 people.

Ok got it, well I do think that you should ask for a raise, at least 100 euros, that's very little for 8 years of development.
