I'm not making the post to have a rating of my salary, I know it's pretty good.

I just wanted to share since it may be useful for other people.

I'd be also quite curious to see more EU bubble salaries in this sub (especially people not working in the EU institutions, since those salaries are usually public.)

EDIT: I consider EU bubble also those companies that are NOT EU institutions, but are working around/close to them (e.g. NGOs, lobbies, trade associations).
