This makes the most sense. Ultimately an employee cannot have a company paying them more than the value they generate.
The value engineers for US companies generate is higher than the value engineers for EU/CAD companies generate, so they have a better bargaining position.
This is probably because US companies have a bigger market to start in, and have been more successful at expanding into other markets (including EU and CAD). The profit of tech companies is constrained by size of market addressed, not number of employees they hire.
- loosescrews 6y agoParent mentioned SAP and Spotify as examples of large software companies earning less per employee than US software companies. Both of these companies have good penetration in the US market. SAP has great global market penetration. There is something else besides market going on.

Suppressed salaries are pure profit. $T companies not just come from nowhere. https://elsajohansson.wordpress.com/2017/09/13/what-does-a-wage-gap-look-like/ https://elsajohansson.wordpress.com/2017/09/13/what-does-a-w...
