Yeah, that would be the kind of money you’d get as a junior “anything”, even outside tech.

Also, in Portugal you receive 14 months per year instead of 12 (one extra on summer holiday and another on Christmas).

This is all the more reason to state it as a yearly salary. There are only 12 months in a year. You might get 2 extra paychecks but those are bonuses/irregular payments; there aren’t magically 2 extra months in the year.

Always bugs me that Europeans use the word "salary" to mean monthly payments when in the US it defaults to meaning yearly.

So it bugs us that you mean yearly and still measure things in elbows to the hoghead. Live with it.

Yeah. It's a decent salary for a junior, when converted to BRL. Heck, even for senior positions outside tech.
