Dunno, I still think it can be characterized as the low-end of average, even if it's closer to 2-3 years of experience. Maybe not in Stockholm, but there are a places that still offer like 30k for entry level hires.
As written in the article talking salaries in Sweden is avoided, so there are probably many offers in that range.
The recommendation is for Sweden in general though, not Stockholm. It is for any kind of engineer, where IT is above average.
What are you referring to in the article? All taxable income (which would include salary) is public information in Sweden and the majority are unionized and do talk about salaries.
Yeah, that's what I thought. I think you read too much into that. He's just being the humble and cool guy he is. It's not as taboo here like it is in the US.[1]
