Hi,
I like the amount that Jerome is making, however, I would like to kindly point out that it's not fair to compare the salary there to here. Reasons being:

1. In France, the tax rate is about 40%, so countries with high tax tends to pay higher. 60% of 100k (euros) = 60k euros.

2. Note that it's in Euros and SGD so the amount is doubled. If you really wanna compare, why not take the British Pound (x3)?

It's not right to compare money like this and create unnecessary sentiments of jealousy and discontentment.

Hope that helps. Regards.
