> The average developer salary in Germany isn't that much different from the average in the US as a whole. I think you'd be surprised. Can't find a good source now, but last time I checked US average is roughly double Germany & UK. > The ridiculously low rates programmers get in the financial industry in London The finance industry in London is one of the few markets outside US that are comparable with US in salary, particularly contractors - £800/day is not uncommon for finance devs.

There's a lot of variance and of course these kinds of surveys are also always contingent on industry and years of experience but taking currency exchange rates into account (which of course is questionable, too because in many aspects of daily life 1 USD probably equals 1 EUR) the factor is more like 1.3 to 1.5 at the most: https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/software-developer/salary https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/software-develope... http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Software_Developer/Salary http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Software_Developer/S... https://www.computerwoche.de/a/der-grosse-gehaltsvergleich-fuer-it-fachkraefte-2015-6,3218378 https://www.computerwoche.de/a/der-grosse-gehaltsvergleich-f... > The finance industry in London is one of the few markets outside US that are comparable with US in salary, particularly contractors - £800/day is not uncommon for finance devs. From my experience (which comes from client leads) the maximum is more like £550 / day with the average at about £400 and even £300 per day not being unheard of and that's pre-Brexit-vote. Since then daily rates have decreased.
