Doesn't sound like much. What lifestyle do you afford on this? Any improvement prospects?

Better than half of my peers for sure.

Of course you can grow with time, both in salary and in responsibility, for now I'm the classical code monkey but I have an idea for a startup that would like to develop so I will leave the job before the end of the year.

I've read that many "young" Italians live in their parents house at least until their early 30s. Maybe he's in the same situation.

Actually yes, I live with my parents.

I would probably be able to rent a small 1-room flat but for now I prefer to save money.

I'm not sure you know what you're talking about, 17k in Italy as junior-anything, is EXTREMELY well!
