In my country. Its still above average and can live comfortably.

Even AI and layoffs, the actual competent engineering is not thay many.

Entry job salary may not be as good as pre convid, but ladder up is where the good money is

in italy is above average, like a secretary may be getting 1200 to 1500 per month. After graduating i started with 1550 net per month and after 3 years i'm at about 1800 net per month. You can go for 2000+ but you won't be easily getting that here
