- permalac 4y agoBut if you work for them in Barcelona the salary is still pretty bad.
- DeathArrow 4y agoHow bad is pretty bad?
- oblio 4y agoI don't know about NTT, but salaries for software devs are really low in general. Think €30-40k per year. How FAANG are not leveraging such a poorly paid workforce in countries with a great climate, developed, safe, etc, I will never know.
- ben_w 4y agoI think the sort of person FAANG wants to hire, knows how much they can get from moving and has either already relocated or found remote work.
- DeathArrow 4y agoDo FAANG hire remote developers?
- KerrAvon 4y agoThey do. At least some of the FAANG have important software development offices in Japan.
- DeathArrow 4y agoThe parent was speaking about Spain, not Japan.
- bamboozled 4y agoBecause any good talent leaves Japan immediately for the USA as soon as they can for better pay and a more relaxed life?
- DeathArrow 4y agoParent was talking about Spain, not Japan. And as a foreigner I think it's very hard to get a working visa in the US.
- geodel 4y agoYeah, FAANG can just hire all the engineers at NTT, all these Indian IT outsourcing companies, European tech companies and other I might have missed. I mean for christ sake this is 2022. If every CRUD micro services peddler and every network engineer who solves 5 firewall opening issues in a day couldn't get USD 200K / year for 6 hr work day, free food and drinks, onsite laundry, massage, haircut and medical checkup. What is the point of even living on this polluted earth.
- DeathArrow 4y agoWhy do you think software developers in the rest of the world are worse than their US peers?
- DeathArrow 4y agoThat's low. In Romania FAANGs aren't paying better salaries than market average, so the only incentive to work for a FAANG is to have it on your CV, stay 2 years and find better employment. FAANGs get it really cheap here as they pay 10x lower wages than in the US.
- oblio 4y agoRomania doesn't have Netflix, Apple, Facebook and barely has Google through Fitbit.
