Now, is Europe higher or lower than Canada? We have some software developers working here incredibly cheaply, especially in USD terms.

  Looking at [0] and [1], it looks like Canada is ahead on average, but not by much. But also note that software development salaries can be bimodal (or even trimodal) depending on where you are[2] [0] https://www.daxx.com/blog/development-trends/it-salaries-software-developer-trends https://www.daxx.com/blog/development-trends/it-salaries-sof...

  Personal experience: I used to work in Munich (which has the highest average software salaries in Europe) now I work in Canada. From my experience salaries are higher in Canada than in Europe. Not only that, it seems technologies are adopted faster in Canada vs Europe, and in my experience code quality better in Canada vs Europe. This is of course very biased and based on my own personal experience. So take it with a grain of salt. I suppose the proximity with US makes Canada a better option than Europe due to language and timezone barriers.

    I've heard of London, Dublin, Berlin and Zurich, but I haven't heard that Munich has the highest salary.

      100% sure Dublin & Berlin salaries are lower than Munich, at least outside of FAANGs. Maybe Switzerland and Norway are higher but so are taxes.
