Afaik, in Italy, Spain, France and Netherlands, the convention is largely to talk about salaries post-tax. In UK it’s pre-tax.

I live in Spain and have only ever seen pre-tax numbers discussed. Certainly in professional jobs.

By tax, I mean income tax. I've only ever seen "salario bruto" in my contracts, in job adverts etc.

I'm Spanish and can corroborate this. Maybe sometimes with friends and family you'll talk about neto but otherwise everywhere else it's bruto.
TIL. Germany is also always pre-tax.
