For a entry-level developer in a large French company you would aim a 50k€.

But this is just the bare salary - you will have to take off about 20-30% for various taxes. But then you get free healthcare and education, and retirement.

Some companies will have a bonus ("intéressement / participation") which can be an extra 10 to 20% once a year.

You would typically have a straight salary, no equity or something like that.

When you look at the most senior positions, this is about 130k€.

But it really depends on the city, on the industry etc. Generally speaking your salary is not that big, bt you have extra advantages (such as the social committee, a company-funded organization that will reimburse part of your vacation costs, give gifts at Christmas, ...)

You're being generous here. A new grad in France in engineering or development gets more often in the 40k€. The most senior positions in most companies plateau around 90k€.

In some companies in Paris it's higher, but that's the exception.
