Most developers will be making more than €3000 a month after taxes. The problem is usually housing and living costs. Both ranging from €500 to €1500 each, that is €1000 to €3000 total. If you are at the lower end you of course end up fairly cash wealth, at the other not so much. At the same time these days you would still, despite being in one of the more lucrative professions, struggle to acquire a central apartment, or a holiday home, which is largely only accessible to those who are already asset wealthy. Especially not without significant debt.

If you can find your way it isn't bad, but I wouldn't put Sweden above places Switzerland or The Netherlands these day in terms of a good deal. Which I would have five to ten years ago.

Thank you for the insight, but I think you may be intending to reply to someone else :) My experience has fit none of the things you describe (in fact most of the factors you list are quite far off of my own experience in terms of debt, apartment location, and salary), but that's not to say that they're not true for someone else. There definitely is a rental problem in Stockholm right now.

Not sure how I can be far off when I am presenting a range. One that isn't hard to justify for that matter.

I didn't say you were far off in general, I said everything you said happens to not be applicable to my experience (or that of most of my team members), and your comment seemed to be providing information about living in Sweden to someone who already lives in Sweden, which is why I figured you intended to reply to someone else.

You said that the other respondents standard might be different. I am saying that this is the range. What would be the approximate numbers (salary and central apartment), at your company for someone getting hired today, say with a couple of years out of school?
