As a French dev, I divise US salary by two to get a a French equivalent.
If you are making 70k in France, absolutely don’t go under 6 figures in the US.
I would target 140 and asks for 150k.
My rationale is that when your French boss give you a sweat euro. He give 1 euro to the French gov as well for your unemployment / medical / retirement fund.
Also… empirically: it works.

- fy20 4y agoIn this case most likely OP will not be 'employed', they will be self employed and working through a business to business relationship with the US company. In that case they will need to pay their own social security contributions in France, where as if you are employed it is paid by the employer/comes out of your gross salary. To be 'employed' the US company would need to setup a legal entity in France, and ensure they are compliant with all French labour laws, which doesn't really make sense for them to do for a single person.
