No way, it should be more than that... i guess it should be 1200 - 1500 average but i could be wrong...
- ftravieso0
It definitely is.

I heard more or less the same while I was out living there, everybody gets a shite wage in Barca though, unless you're working for an ex pat company.

I' m from Barcelona and the situation is a big shit... 900 euros/1100 euros-month maximum for a online/offline designer... and 14 hours in work every day... Just a big shit...

and don't even try the "I'm going to do the online search job", because the agencies and some hiring stuff with undisclosed phone number ask for extremely detailed cv documents and even digital portfolios to be sent.
They don't even send a letter like in the rest of Europe.
Communication professionales should just put an end to it without going too much politics, I guess.

And a room in center... maybe 300 euros/month... one full flat.. 900 euros/month ... and if y wanna buy a flat... like 65 m2... 2 rooms... 270.000 euros for pay in 35 years in a credit bank.... oh man... Barcelona SUCKS!

aye, my wage over here is a pittance, but over there it was almost disgustingly higher than any indigenous designer. sorry :-/
pretty exploitative place

Kelpie's hit the nail on the head, sadly. From what I've know, if you're working for the ex-pat market you can hope to make a lot more money than otherwise. Spain's still a bit behind the times when it comes to wages (outside bloody Madrid, anyway)
if you freelance, have you tried targeting the Brits/Germans/- Scandinavians?
If it doesn't work out - hell, you could always join the rest of the Spanish population in London!

Well.. socialismo ain't free.
Last time I checked, designer / developer wages in BCN were 12K junior / 18K senior, and that is before taxes. I don't think 12K is even legal in Ireland (even though I consider minimum wage a fucked concept), and housing costs are quite close.

Geeze.
I spend more than that each month on temporary tattoos.

Thats probably the price you have to pay for living in a place with nice weather and a decent beach.......
I i had the choice of earning £200 less p/m, to stop the weather being so miserable in London, I wouldnt think about it twice...
I probably spend the money travelling anyways.

Barcelona is a 'empty cool box' hhahaa just for lie for a cool yankees, nordics, etc... whos daddays pay all,... like Rafalsky hahaha
