Lol sure. If you get this kind of responsibility anywhere in western Europe in a professional setting, you are getting paid definitely somewhere in that salary region.

The effective amount will of course differ greatly between the countries, but please don't forget that the expenses vary as well. (15k a month in Switzerland isn't as much as 15k a month in Germany)

I'd say around 1 percent of devs make that much... And then Mr tax man will take between 50 and 70 percent

I didn't include all devs. Of course a "normal" developer doesn't make this much. As a lead developer you earn a lot of money here.

I know a couple of senior (non lead) developers who earn this much.
