The above list makes sense for people outside of tech. People in tech have most of the above in US. Some countries in Europe have pretty competitive comp like Switzerland (Denmark, Norway have decent comp too but its getting destroyed by high taxes)
- guitarbill 8y agosure, it's a complex situation, and IT is booming, so the "high salary + throw money at it" approach works great for individuals
- nstart 8y agoCurious about the comment on Norway taxes. They are high but the benefits offered are very good for citizens. Education and healthcare being top benefits. Also the culture contributes a lot to viewing it more positively from what I understand. I don't work in Norway but I've been researching it as a possible location to migrate to in the future. Curious if there are any citizens from Norway who'd be interested in adding information to this though.
- qaq 8y agoI think the situation is very skewed when comparing tech sector because of how competitive things are in US the comp packages can be far beyond of what you get as "free" gov. services in a place like Norway.
- wolco 8y agoI look at remote job ads and I find the US, Canada at times the UK willing to hire internationally. Where Denmark, Norway, Germany seem hostile to non-locals. To me those are key signals of a competitive market. It doesn't feel like Europe has a shortage of talent at the moment.
- qaq 8y agoIt sure does work culture is different though plus cost savings US vs Remote can be 2X vs for Germany more like 30%
