> Kudos to American computer scientists and software engineers for reaching the compensation and status that the profession(s) deserve. First, all STEM salaries are significantly higher in the US compared to Europe, not just software engineers and computer scientists. Second, it doesn't have much to do with the merit of those people. It has to do with offer and demand.
