As an European, because outside of ASML and a few other small but important suppliers to the semi industry like Zeiss and Trumpf, we don't have any high margin giant dogs in this fight the size of Intel, GloFo, Samsung or TSMC that can extract huge profits. And that's before we go into top fabless companies (AMD, Apple, Nvidia, Qualcomm) where the US just mops the floor with all EU companies put together.
The EU in general is just weak, old fashioned and too risk adverse and when it comes to heavily investing in cutting edge tech. And defense. And paying competitive wages. And resistance to offshoring. And energy independence. And being proactive on Russian threats. And sticking up to China. And border security. etc.
At least we have Airbus.
cries in €60k/year senior engineer salary

- ChuckNorris89 4y agoIn a high cost country, as a mid-senior, before the 45% taxes, where a decent small apartment is >400k€ and a house is nearly one million €. Also, don't compare yourself with random people on the internet. No matter how much you make, someone will always make way more than you with less experience and less work. It's a never ending vicious cycle towards depression and self loathing.
