I’m pretty sure US startups still pay more in salary than the average or median European software developer salary, so in the worst case the American startup employee finds themselves in a comparable economic situation to the European software professional (except that the American can always go to a FAANG or fintech and make double). Hardly a “great depression” scenario.
