>2k/month is a starter salary in the nordics.

Definitely not true in Norway, it's closer to twice that.

Since the conversation started about students needing 2k Euros to live, the 2k we're talking about is net or after taxes.

I know Norway has high wages and prices but I can't imagine new-grads there making 4k after taxes.

New grads make a lot these days. Here’s the Netherlands for example: https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Software-Engineer/Netherland...

That’s total compensation including stocks and bonuses, and still way beyond the median dev salary. Levels.FYI caters to a niche audience. Sort it by lowest to get a much more realistic picture.

I did. Entry level is around €50k base in Germany. 20-40% more in other EU countries. 100% more in the US (or Canada for certain employers)

If you think Levels.FYI caters to a niche, you’re playing yourself.
