I would say that Europe is on fire right now, however due to a combination of Brexit, IR35 and COVID, companies are a lot more willing to hire remotely across Europe. At the end of last year I had an initial call with a certain London based food delivery company, and the recruiter said they had to place 100 engineers over the next year. He said that it was now much harder to find people in the UK, and most of the people they'd already placed (over the last few months) were outside the UK. This was a role advertising rates of £650/day. In the UK you can live pretty comfortably like that, in Spain or Poland you can live like a king. This doesn't really increase the top end salaries, but it does mean they become more balanced across Europe. I live in the Baltics, and have seen local roles advertised paying up to €90k (I'm guessing 'up to' is the key part, but still). That's at similar levels (or slightly higher) than non-London UK salaries. To get a salary like that 5 years ago you'd have to go to the UK (or maybe Berlin), and people here did, but now you can get the same at home.
