I know that it depends on the job position, location, experience and so but what do you think guys?
For example, the best countries to find good companies are USA, Canada, England, Scotland, Netherlands, France, Germany, Sweden and Japan.
Which could be the salary for a gameplay programmer who just graduated for college
and find a job in a small company?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave these specific reasons:
- "Questions seeking advice on company-specific regulations, agreements, or policies should be directed to your manager or HR department. Questions that address only a specific company or position are of limited use to future visitors. Questions seeking legal advice should be directed to legal professionals.

- "Questions asking for advice on what to do are not practical answerable questions (e.g. "what job should I take?", or "what skills should I learn?"). Questions should get answers explaining why and how to make a decision, not advice on what to do. For more information, click here." – Jim G., gnat

Overall salaries are OK. Per-hour is terrible.

Depends on the company, on your skills, on whether you ate or aren't counting the gamble of whether the game succeeds in the marketplace and you get your bonus...

Question is too vague to be answerable. Aside from that, we are not a salary research service. Do your own research.

In general salaries for most are below average and working hours are terrible. Remember every new graduate wants to work in games so the rules of the market apply.
Some jobs for specialists are very well paid. But although I might pay an X-box specialist $1K/day to fix a problem in my game for a few weeks, they are going to get no more work when I need a PS4 expert the next month.

Matches my experience. Expert console devs can certainly demand good money, but it's a long grind for low pay to develop that expertise.
