$75k a year will put you in the top 25-20% in “Western Europe”. In Denmark where education and healthcare is paid for collectively and our tax is 38%, you would need to earn $125k to be in the top 5%, and we’re pretty similar to countries like France and Germany. So you can say that 75k a year would be a decent pay in Europe, though maybe not for someone with a candidate degree in software engineering. https://www.detdanskearbejdsmarked.dk/den-danske-model/portraet-af-den-danske-model/loenningerne-i-danmark-er-blandt-verdens-hoejeste/ https://www.detdanskearbejdsmarked.dk/den-danske-model/portr...
