My understanding is that tech jobs also pay a lot more (relatively) in the US than most everywhere else in the west.

- beagle3 6y agoThat depends on your definition of “a lot”. About 20-25% more than Dennark and Israel and the UK (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23089392; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23089392; the parent of that post says it’s 70% more than Germany). 20% difference is not little, but it is within the differences of PPP and average cost of living, so it’s not clear whether or not it’s more - e.g. food is cheaper in the us but medical services are much more expensive, so comparing how far money goes depends on your conditions.
