What you call outliers I call people who did the necessary leg work.
- pavlov 9y agoBut it's not necessary in any sense of the word. You can have a very nice, balanced life in Finland as a software engineer making 4k EUR / month for a local company with steady working hours and not a lot of stress. Thanks to state-provided health and daycare services, 4k/month is a very solid wage. Or, you can try to become a $200k / year remote superstar, but what you call "leg work" is very far from the daily interactions of a Finnish college graduate. It's like deciding to become a Hollywood actor when you're just a good-looking girl in a small European town. I think you also underestimate the importance of language and co-workers. If you stay in Finland and work for a local company, most of your daily work can be carried out in native Finnish with people who live close by. Remotely working for a US company can be quite lonely (I know, I do it).
