    With a Computing Licenciature degree (5 years at least) and 5 years of working experience you could earn around 2000?/month without taxes and without special bonuses in christmas/summer (that would left ~1550? per month and at the end of the year you would have to pay around 800? to the goverment) if you work in Madrid (the capital city) and Barcelona (the second biggest city).

    If you work in other parts of Spain you'll end up with wages of 720?/month or something like that after working for free for companies for one year. And you won't raise that much until you have spent at least 5 years working. Don't expect to earn more than 18000?/year (taxes not discounted yet) even if you have 5 years of experience.

    Working as computer engineer sucks here in spain unless you work in Madrid or Barcelona. There's a lot of intrusism from other engineers and that causes that code quality in production environments is crap.

    E.g: HP/Accenture/DMR/CapGemini/Atos Origin/... hires engineers in Physics, Chemistry, Telecommunications, Philosophists, Mathemathics... that haven't written a damn line of code in their whole life and don't have passion for computing. The result is that they don't have a clue and that bosses that act as analysts even though they haven done any UML diagram in their whole life force workers to spend their life in the office. The productivity gets lower, there's no analys phase, there's no docs, everything is done quick'n'dirty.

    And people who knows about computing gets burnt.
