THE UK WAS THE MOST WELL-REPRESENTED EUROPEAN
COUNTRY, with about a quarter of the sample, followed
by Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands. By far, the highest
salaries were in Switzerland, with
a median salary of €117K, followed
by Norway with €96K, although
the latter figure is only based on
five respondents. Among countries
represented by more than just a
handful of respondents, the UK had
the second-highest median salary:
€63k (£53).
Even within Western Europe, there was significant variation
in salary. While UK, Swiss, and Scandinavian salaries were
significantly higher than the Western European median of €54K, Spanish and Italian respondents tended to have much
lower salaries (€35K). Portugal was somewhat of an outlier in
Western Europe, with a median of €22K. The median salaries
of Germany, the Netherlands, and
France were close to the regional
median (about €53K).
Salaries drop dramatically as we
move south and east. The median
salary of respondents from Central
and Eastern Europe was €17K. Russia
and Poland, the two most well-represented
countries in this half of the
continent, also had median salaries of €17K: unlike in the west,
Eastern European salaries appeared to be fairly consistent,
even across national borders.
