I like how people always feel the need to shift a discussion on actual salary that normal people experience to a few job mostly in finance negotiated directly with key stack holders to pretend things are comparable.
Let’s forget that salaries in Europe are ridiculously low to focus on the handful of people who might get an extraordinary position - still paid less than an equivalent one in North America nevertheless - and pretends its doable and everything is fine.
- mgaunard 5y agoWhile London is a finance hot spot, jobs from Google, Facebook or similarly competing company will also be in that range. And that's not even the top salaries, there are also jobs that pay in millions. You'll also find similar salaries in Amsterdam, Paris, Zurich... I'm just stating that jobs that pay the same as in the article do exist in Europe, and I don't believe they're as exceptional as you suggest. There just is a large spectrum of salaries for software engineering, and as we all know, 90% of everything is crud, so of course the median will be much lower.
