What’s the incentive for companies to pay European devs more?
- xxpor 6y agoAbility to attract and retain talent better than their peers? Alternatively: What's the incentive for firms in the US to pay high wages?
- johbjo 6y agoManagers in US software companies base their seniority on experience in software engineering. Up-valuing software engineers also up-values their own position. Most large employers of engineers in Europe are rather old industrial companies. Management generally do not have software engineering backgrounds.
- chrisseaton 6y agoIf they could compete with American companies to get better developers they could build move valuable companies.
- matthewmacleod 6y agoI’m pretty certain that lack of technical talent is not one of the factors contributing to the relatively fewer numbers of large European tech companies.
