It is worse in Europe, but try getting a FANG job in Europe and they still pay extremely well.
My base pay is 150K pounds and not in London! Definitely I have a very niche skill in demand and I had to work really hard and be luck at the same time, to land at this role, but I will any day pick Europe with all the other benefits that a European country gives me.
- petters 7y agoYes, working for Google or Apple in Sweden pays very, very well compared to other companies. This is not widely known by engineers. I wish more people would talk about salaries here.
- mpeg 7y agoI think your niche skillset is probably the main reason, I doubt many FAANG people at an engineer level in the UK (especially outside London) make anywhere close to that. I've been getting offers on that range in London for a few years now but they're senior management roles and I have a pretty unique skillset, FAANG recruiters haven't even bothered contacting me for like 10 years (they were chasing much harder when I was a junior engineer)
- Nadge 7y agoWhat do you do and what is your skillset, if I may ask?
