Overall, wages in France will be lower in software - with important things to keep in mind: - health and education are dirt cheap. This is phenomenal for a family (even compared to the the U.K.). The downside is you have less control on your kids/health. - roles and culture in most companies are still stuck in the 90s. Push and evangelize on what/how you do and you'll get fitter offers - you'll work less. More holidays, shorter work weeks. Life in Paris is stressfull so you'll need that. A nice bonus is that most Europe cities are a short flight away, great for week ends. Lyon/Munich/Amsterdam/Barcelona are all excellent places too (better than Paris and even London in many respects) Hopefully we get at least some of you guys to move over here and push for a better community : )
