Senior devs can do a lot better than 50k in Europe (I'm at 150k myself). But you have to push harder, and it helps if you're in Norway or Switzerland.

- jongjong 4y agoAh yes Switzerland salaries are much higher... But costs of living are too. I remember everything in grocery stores cost almost twice as much as they did in Germany. It's actually quite typical, when you move to places where costs of living are higher, salaries are higher too. You may still struggle to save anything. What you do manage to save can represent a lot of value, but only if you end up selling everything and relocating to a different, cheaper country/city later. I wish I had seen the global scheme sooner.
- CalRobert 4y agoSame here. I would've stayed in northern California and emigrated _after_ saving a good chunk of change, especially since I grew up there. Oh well.
