You're looking for US companies with EU offices, basically. You get an internationally competitive salary, and because they've got a local office, they also comply with the EU's sane employment laws. I don't really have tips - I joined Atlassian in Sydney and transferred to Atlassian France. After a while I managed to find another job using my personal network. At least in France some local companies are starting to realise they need to up their salary to compete with international/remote companies, so it should get better.

99% of US companies with EU offices will NOT pay you anywhere close to the US level of money, IIRC the offer I received from Atlassian in Poland some years ago was not even competitive with the local market.

  This! These American companies open their offices in order to cut costs. They aren't going to pay the same US salaries except outside of big tech.

    Depends, if you're a known good quality they'll pay regardless of location (generally).

  +1; international offices are subsidiaries of the parent company, They’re setup to comply with local laws and also pay local market wages (vs US wages). Any sane bigTech company in the US won’t want to deal with complexity of hiring EU staff directly, as the US HR staff will be on the hook for EU & country specific HR laws, tax requirements, benefits administration etc.

  Polish market exploded at the start of this year since the tax changes, your anecdata is out of date.

    Those tax changes are irrelevant - you can make double for the top of the local market working remote for US companies. Several percent in taxes doesn't make a difference at this point.

      Correct, and that's what I do

What’s the max someone at Atlassian can make in Australia? Between them, Canva and MAGMA - it seems like the best paid jobs in APAC is your own consultancy.

US companies with EU offices hire in those offices based on local compensation... quite obviously.
