I don't know how many people work on Mastodon, but it should be enough money for around seven full time workers. Thats more than enough.
Even if you spend all of that on salaries and everybody earns the same, 4k€/month for a software dev job for example seems low in central Europe. That's not even 50k a year. Some companies offer between 60 and 80k for entry level positions. You need closer to twice that much to be remotely sustainable with 7.
I guess France is not part of central Europe because 80k(even employer cost) for entry level position I never heard about it
Even 4k isn't that easy to get at the beginning
And 4k (employer cost) is in the end like 2100e after all taxes
I don't know about France. I live in one of your neighbouring countries and as a graduate or even undergrad software dev you won't have a hard time finding a job that pays 60k+. 80k+ is rare but definitely also exists.
Edit: And yea all of these are pre tax obviously. The cost of living is also quite high though. For example in some places over here rent for even a small flat is 1k or more.
I live in Italy and here a 50k€ job is considered on the very high end for a senior developer. It means around 2500€/month (for 14 months) net and keep in mind that the medium job in Italy is just a bit less than 34k
oh okay, places i thought about it's like 700e for a 3 rooms flat. And of course in France you have healthcare and stuff, but most likely the same in most of Europe
With the cost of living in country in east i think they could find skilled passionated devs, and pay them a fair price, which french companies already do (without the fair price)
