Really? How easy is it for an American to get a work visa in France? It’s pretty damned difficult. I lived there for four years with a non-working visa and even getting that was difficult. And every year I had to show my bank statements, health insurance, and provide proof that I owned my house there.
Also to your other points, only one of the FAANGs has been around for more than 25 years. Yet the salary differential has been around a lot longer than that. In fact, it was much worse.
And why doesn’t Europe have massive VC funds? It’s pretty simple, taxes on gains are confiscatory, creating a disincentive to take big risks.
