In the US it's probably somewhere between 40k and 60k entry level, from the empirical data I've gathered.

This can't be done. Even if there are currency conversion rates, you can't compare salaries because the economic scale varies from country to country. For example, in Spain you get paid less, but everything costs less. In Paris, you get a great pay, but everything is fucking expensive. Within France, but outside Paris, you get lower salaries and lower prices. And so.

Also, taxes.

He'll probably rise to management... so about twice to ten times as much.

You may not, but the OP asked for salaries, and I was pointing out that they can't be compared across countries, or even across different cities of countries, even after applying currency exchange rates. It's all a matter of what you can buy with the money you are given.

For example, the average mortgage in London is longer than in Madrid despite the higher pay in London, and Madrid's longer than most other European capitals, regardless of pay.
