According to Wilkipedia, general average wages in Italy in 2023 were 48K, and SWE jobs are usually above average.

It would be interesting to know from where Chatgpt sourced those figures as some of them look very sketchy.

this website put the number at 40k (and 30k entry level 50k senior)

so there s a change it took entry level numbers. another possibility is that it took numbers from a specific region in italy (big north/south gap).
