If we assume the 30 euros a day was an average over the month, not the amount earned each work day, it's not all that different (30*30=900). Within 10% of what you stated at least.
True, but I was more focused on the fact that I earned that sum as a PhD, so one step below the seniority ladder. To earn exactly the same sum as a postdoc is just a crazy thing, and I'm glad I left to do my postdoc in the US.
