I saw a lot of people in Europe with the mentality "I am not paying the cable guy that much money", even if the "cable guy" was a highly skilled software engineer that was building the core of the company. Europe is also more egalitarian, doctors are also paid less and progressive income taxes and other factors are shaming people into earning less.
