Keep in mind that this is total comp, not base salary. Ie, base, bonus, and stock. You’ll want to compare apples to apples, no company I’ve worked for pays _that_ much less in Europe, depending on your definition of Europe.
Which would be my other point, you need to pick which city in Europe you’re comparing to. Kiev will get you results that match your statement, but London will not. Specifically using the EU, Zurich will not match, but Bucharest might.
- pdpi 6y agoThe difference is most definitely there. My total comp as a SWE5 at Facebook in London was closer to what this article calls "Entry Level" in the Bay Area.
