It is that time of the year again to have that performance evaluation discussion with the boss. It is time to dig up all those miraculous acts of heroism you have been able to accomplish during last year and set new targets for this year. Perhaps a slight increase in salary too.
Finland is considered a high GDP country, we have a pretty high tax rate ( basically almost up to 50% depending on income ) and we pay VAT 22% on almost everything. I have a feeling we earn quite a bit less then our brothers in europe eventho we get to pay wonderful amounts of taxes.
I myself have a degree in industrial management and engineering (Bsc) and I work in Customer Services/Sales in a global industrial company.
I earned 33600 EUR before taxes, not including any bonuses or benefits. The avg salary for an engineer in Finland is 40800 EUR and the median salary is 37800 eur. With this cash I could buy a basic car, nothing fancy tho.
The best way to get your salary up has traditionally been switching jobs every 2-4 years.
So, what do you do as living and how much do you earn from that?

Worked at the largest gym in the Southern Hemisphere as an Aerobics assistant. About 2 uk pounds per hour, enough for a student. But gonna be unemployed end of this month, cause we(base staff) can only work at the gym for 2 years max :(
People would have paid to do my job tbh.
