25/35 is the base for junior positions or you are in a company that still underpay his employees, I do around 75K in Italy and I live like a New Yorker would do with 200K. Cost of living + quality of life in Italy is unbeatable if you have a good pay(at least more on average with other EU countries).

Sure I don't have that much experience, but IT positions in Italy are genarally underpaid. 75K/year is definetly not a common thing here and yes, I do believe you live like a 200k would in other places. Where do you live?
