> Just curious. In Sweden the average devops salary is around 60k.

Well there's salary, and total employee cost. Now sure how it works in Sweden, but here in Belgium it's a good rule of thumb that an employer pays +- 2,5 times what an employee nets at the end after taxes etc. So say you get a net wage of €3300/month or about €40k/year ends up costing the employer about €100k.

I'm a freelance devops/sre/platform engineer, and all I can tell you is that even for long-term projects, my yearly invoice is considerably higher than that.

This is more FUD. Employer cost is nowhere near 2.5x employee wages.
