Ah yes, this is exactly why I'm not in Vienna. Software developers are curiously underpaid in Austria. I got offered a better salary even in Brno (Brünn), which is a much cheaper place.

A pity, Vienna is a beautiful city and consistently ranks among the best places to live.

I mean its pretty strange in Austria, In smaller cities "Graz, Linz" where rent could be as low as 50% lower than Vienna, you'd get pretty much the same salary.

Depends on your field. You can make insane money as an overpriced contractor in Vienna financial sector that you'd never dream about in Graz.
