Is 36k that insane? That's the average starting salary of French engineers and some PhD-level researchers from relatively well-ranked universities. 1/3 of which are compulsory taxes (not including income tax), so in the end it's about 25k of net disposable income per year.

It is insane. I started at the bottom of recession 2009 at a university for 46k.
I'm sure it depends on geography and living cost but 36k is very low imo for a private company.
Public companies such as public university, government, and such still pay a bit above that on top of good compensations (healthcare, vacations, etc...).
This is USA of course.
France in general could be different in term of tax, healthcare, etc...
Healthcare is fairly expensive in the us and rent is fairly high in the Boston area. It's not the same time period but in 2014 I was paying 1800 a month for a 1 bedroom to be within a 15 minute walk of the second to last station on the light rail system, and it wasn't overly expensive.

For USA salaries, that is. Junior devs average $62k in San Diego, California and would lose about 26% of that to tax, assuming they're single and without children.
