This is mostly about FANGs and they can do it because they make $1m plus in revenue per employee.
These are senior positions so don't think this is normal. Average dev salaries are $60k to $150k in USA depending on a ton of factors.
The USA also has no social safety net so it's like comparing oranges to apples when you look at parts of Asia or Europe :)
- da39a3ee 5y agoBut the FAANGS have offices in Europe and pay those employees less, unless I’m mistaken. In which case you can’t argue that US has FAANGS and others don’t.
- bwb 5y agoYes, but the job market is different there as are the cost structure... it is not an equal comparison. For example, in the USA you are looking at about 22% for taxes on an employees salary that the company pays. In Europe that can be as high as 50%. Just one example...
