Obviously no-one would be silly enough to tell an employer what they'd really accept! He's looking for what people would consider a good salary, what they'd consider an OK salary, and what they'd consider a bad salary.

Pulling some numbers out of my arse, then for someone with the experience he mentions (although clearly the circumstances matter a LOT) I'd consider €4000 to be good, €3500 to be tolerable, and €3000 or less unacceptable. That, however, is London salaries.

update: those figures are *before* taxes etc. Call it €2700/2300/2000-ish cash in hand
