Are you actually in Europe? You won't get qualified devs for much less than 60k around here. Especially since that is the amount of money people expect on their payslips before taxes. On top of that employers have to pay additional stuff, that won't even make it on the payslip, like parts of the health insurance which are not considered to be parts of the compensation. Quick Example from Austria: * Cost to Employer 77k€ * Employee's Taxable Income: 60k€ * Income After Taxes: 40k€ * Childcare and University: 0€ |

I'm actually in Europe, and EU, but not Schengen (thank you Austria & Netherland governments for the veto vote).

The ridiculous claim was about juniors that won't even approach the job for less than 60k, and I took that information that I found first with a Google search to illustrate that 60k euros is more than the average salary in most EU countries.
Of course you could share more precise numbers from one of your national institutions that reports this information, but on the website listed the monthly average gross salary stated for Austria is around 4540, which comes to 54480 a year.
I could count on one hand the number of junior developers I've encountered that I would call exceptional, and deserving an average salary right from the get-go.
