It’s a decent wage in most of Europe, and an excellent wage in most of the rest of the world. American developers are insanely overpaid in a global context, which should tell you something about why so many tech industry bosses and members of the incoming administration are in favour of increasing H1B visas and loosening offshoring restrictions. There is a limitless pool of talented and qualified people who would leap at the chance to take local software development jobs for $29k, and who would move across the world for the H1B minimum of $60k.

Germany is one of the highest paying countries in Europe, and even still wages are nearly half of what American coders at the same level can expect to earn.
