It does bring me a sense of despair. Living in Europe, earning six-figures just barely and it's a stretch, significantly higher taxes, significantly higher prices (VAT!!), significantly more red tape. Trying to bootstrap a company, how can one even compete in the global market with people for whom $50k is pocket change?
- deanmoriarty 5y agoOffer a lot of equity to employees and have a good idea to pitch.
- cpach 5y agoA good work/life balance doesn’t hurt either!
- cpach 5y agoThere are lots of good devs in Europe that will work for less than a US dev if it’s a good salary for their region. For example in Stockholm, I think pretty few developers earn more than €6500/month or so (before taxes). (And many of them earn less than that.) Best of luck with your endeavour. You can do it!
- giantg2 5y agoI'm in the US and have similar despair. I'll never earn "good money" by the standards on this site.
