While IT salaries aren't much to brag about in Europe (though the big players start to ramp up their senior+ engineering salaries), you get free healthcare in some european countries and you don't risk getting shot by police based on your skincolor.
- EdwinLarkin 6y agoFree healthcare in Europe sucks.I usually go to my wife's home country to get superior and efficient healthcare (South Korea). In Europe at least in german speaking countries the healthcare is mediocre or subpar for what we pay for it in taxes.
- RGamma 6y agoJust curious: what bad experience did you have? Long waiting times, bad diagnosis/treatment? Also, private insurance ("tax-paid", nvm)? Also at least Germany is a country with a relatively old population (median age 47.8). SK too (median age 43), but suicide rates in the elderly are way higher, which tells me there's problems with QoL. And achieving widespread decent QoL in an old population is quite costly.
- shankr 6y agoYou get free healthcare in most part of the world if you work in IT. And usually it's not taken out of your salary. In EU you have to pay it out of your salaries.
