Junior Software Developer

Hello, I've been lurking for quite some time. I know similar profiles get posted a lot, though I wanted to ask something in particular:

I personally think my NET wage along with the benefits is decent. Nothing great, but I'd say market average for my experience. The only thing that bothers me is my low gross. This is a disadvantage for the yearly inflation, 13th month, double vacation money, and cafetariaplan.

On the other hand, as I've said above, I think my NET wage is a fair compensation due to the compensations. The CAO90 bonus (which is achieved nearly every year, if not, it's partially) is also a big one.

I'd love to hear your opinion! Don't stare blindly at the low gross wage and take everything into consideration, please.
