Welcome to Brussels, Oana!
Well, that amount for a junior position with said experience is more or less what you can expect around Brussels.

When I first came here it was something close to that amount, being in a similar situation (junior level, 8 months exp)

However, I would suggest you to ask them about the benefits they are offering, such as a company car, restaurant tickets, Internet allowances, medical insurance, etc... just to have a full view of the package.

Since taxes are very high in Belgium (depending on your civil status you'll see your brutto salary reduced in up to 40%) many companies offer those benefits in kind so as to be more attractive to their employees, and not giving away too much cash.

Then, assuming you're getting 2450 brutto per month and you are single and no charges (no kids or elders depending on you), you would end up with 1600-1700 approx, but that you will only discover when your first salary arrives.

Good luck and enjoy!
