I don't have a lot of experience and confidence regarding this, but pretty sure DE,NL,ES,IT pay sucks compared to US as an example (as a local).

- benhurmarcel 6y agoYou can't put German and Dutch salaries in the same categories as Spain and Italy. There's easily a 50% difference. German salaries are really attractive for Europe.
- ddorian43 6y agoIt still sucks compared to US.
- mschuster91 6y agoEven after taking out cost of rent, cost of living and cost of healthcare? I highly doubt that.
- andreaorru 6y agoHaving worked in both places, yes, they still suck in comparison.
- mschuster91 6y agoIn absolute numbers German pay may suck, but once you factor in lower rents (e.g. in Munich a 60 m2 2-br flat in the city center will set you back ~1200 €), lower healthcare costs (no co pays aside of 5€/Rx, no "out of pocket" costs for medically indicated procedures), a decent pension scheme and lower cost of food and other expenses, suddenly it is competitive.
