Maybe it depends on which European country, but overall that's a lot lower than anything I've seen in any European countries the last 3-4 years.

Minimum seems to be $70K/year, while the normal seems to be $80-85K, pre-tax.

What do you mean with minium in this case? When I still had a job I used to make $28k/year pre-tax in Sweden as a junior developer (java + frontend). This was in line with my other junior colleagues.

28k pretax seems really low. For the record, with a master at a government job in France, i was paid (as a junior) 27k after tax 5years ago (34k pretax but with government jobs you dont pay the social security tax or something, so its basically 40k pretax).

Now i work for Banks and energy companies, and the pay skyrocketed.
