Is there some reason to not apply for a job in an EU country? $60.000 is pretty low and getting hired in another EU country (assuming you're in the EU of cause)

Is there some reason to not apply for a job in an EU country? $60.000 is pretty low and getting hired in another EU country (assuming you're in the EU of cause) might be easier than getting hired by a US based company.
- tluyben2 4y agoAlso not actually that easy to be hired in another EU country without moving. If you work from another country, the employer will have to create or contract with an entity in your country that hires and pays you. It is a real pain; it is a major reason why I keep a running company that my tax entity sees as a real company (it does investments, hires people, has multiple clients etc) so I cannot be seen as a de facto employee; it is much easier for me and employers to pay me via that. No headaches.
- ralgozino 4y agoWhere's €60000 pretty low? In Italy at least €60000 a year before taxes is kind of a very high salary and hard to get. The average salary for a DevOps Engineer according to Glassdoor is 35000 a year.
- mrweasel 4y agoPretty low might be an overstatement, but €60.000 it is in the lower end for an experienced SRE, DevOps engineer or developer in Denmark. I'd say it's a reasonable salary for someone with a few years of experience. Personally I'd expect something like €80.500 per year as a devops or SRE, and I'm not that good. €35.000 per year... You could make that as a cleaner or by working the cash register at a supermarket (you might need to take a few extra shifts, but it's certainly possible). The good news is that the Danish IT industry is short on qualified people and can deal with you not speaking Danish.
