I think it's wrong to say that in general for EU. There is a huge difference on salaries depending on where in the EU you are.

There is almost nowhere in the EU that $200K is normal. Maybe Zurich - I don't know.

200k might be normal but 30k would be below a entry level graduate many places.

where exactly?

I did some googling and the results suggest the average IT grad salary in London (which is very expensive and features some of the highest salaries) is around 30k.

scandinavia at least (the markets I have most experience with)

But https://www.cwjobs.co.uk/salary-checker/average-computer-sci... shows much higher salaries than 30k in london and germany too (https://www.statista.com/statistics/584759/average-gross-sta...)

[alt_f4]

the first source does not show grad salaries and the average is 57.5k, which is still a lot lower. the second source is paywalled and I can't open it at all.

May comment was not directed at the 200k but the 30 and 35k quoted.
