Where in the EU are good (web) devs willing to work for less than 8k USD, considering the current work market situation? I am in urgent need of those. :^)
I also live in the EU, and 4,5k is not a massively good salary for a programmer in my country (Denmark). This is usually what a junior is paid.
Absolutely agree, 4.5K USD (3,970€) is certainly not a "massively good salary for Europe" although that heavily depends on the country. Here in Germany its about entry level for a CS major

Yeah, Europe has significant variance in a) reporting of salaries (some report pre-tax, others post-tax) and median income levels. Generally though, programmers are paid pretty well by the standard of the country they live in.
Is the 4,5k before or after tax?
4,5 K USD/month is 54K USD/year gross which is 47K EUR/year gross. That's not massively good salary across ALL Europe.
In eastern and southern europe: that's probably good for a junior engineer, and perhaps average for a senior
In northern europe: that's probably average for a junior, below average for a senior

I don't think salaries across Europe are comparable. There are huge discrepancies between locations.
For example, in Berlin it seems to me that average salaries are around 70k EUR/year (6.6k USD/month) and really good salaries are well above 90k EUR/year (8.5k USD/month).
You can see more data in https://www.levels.fyi, which it is skewed to the high side, but gives you an idea about what good offers are nowadays.
And yes, 4,5k USD/month is massively good salary for Europe.
On the other hand, I see many job offers with salaries being just a joke (idk if they find any good developers for such money)
