Where did you get your 56K pre-tax?

3k/month NET here means almost 70K/year pre-tax for a single person with no children.

same website :D 70k/year is 5k monthly which results in 44k post tax. thats 3700 a month post tax. only us austrians (and i think italians?) do this whole nonsense of 13/14/15/16th salary

You're right, I forgot to divide the 13 and 14 salary. Even with those included, I'm at 2750 NET per month(49K/year before taxes), which is still below the 3000+ average claimed above and devs tend to be above average paid(usually).

Or everyone else makes 3000+ and I'm underpaid, who knows. :D Sucks that people in this country don't usually discuss salaries because reasons.

you are right, just redid the calculation and i am at 33k post-tax too. i guess i had the family bonus still active when i did it last time.

nobody discussed salaries in germany/UK either though. wasn't just a problem in vienna for me ;)

how are the salaries in vienna these days for software devs?

No idea since I don't live in Vienna but afaik worse than in German/Swiss tech hubs but at a lower CoL.

Whether the overall salary/CoL ratio is a better deal for you here than in the other hubs really depends on how good your salary is and how much you'll spend.

Well, there is a variety of choices, there is a good selection of excellent coworking places in Wien, Salzburg, Graz. I used to live in Vienna, so found a few interesting places her https://www.matchoffice.at/mieten/coworking/wien-city

don't think that was the topic though?
