Even FAANG pays shit in Europe. I was paid 75k at Amazon. Europe is designed for the landed aristocracy, not working people.

- smikhanov 5y agoFor FAANG, levels.fyi shows pretty competitive salaries in European cities where it has presence (Munich, Amsterdam, London, etc) — most are in six figures. Every time I put those figures in expatistan.com, I absolutely don’t get the feeling that FAANG salaries are low in Europe. Local European IT firms (your local broadband provider, or a supermarket chain) normally pay much less though.

- ChuckNorris89 5y ago>I recall housing prices being mostly reasonable 15-20 years ago And bitcoin was a fraction of a dollar just 10 years ago. Unfortunately, we don't have a time machine and the housing prices of today have far outpaced the earning increases that the working class saw in that time. 15-20 years ago, housing was seen mostly as a place you'd buy to live yourself, not an investment vehicle you'd buy to get grand returns from. That's the difference.
- dvdkon 5y agoOur opinions on the cause aside, we had reasonably priced housing before, we can have it again, without fundamentally changing the way our cities are built (that's not to discount any other reasons to do so).
