- epups 3y agoHow does it work in the EU for you? In my experience it's the same bullshit
- bionsystem 3y agoNot your parent but for me you take what they give you. You might be able to get 5% more but that's about it. In a lot of places yearly raises are uncommon or slow. My first company would go beyond 10% for juniors but it would plateau eventually, usually you take 2-5% and that's it, to get 10%+ you need to change jobs and you cannot do that every year without being categorized as unstable in your next jobs.
- lannisterstark 3y agoTbf in EU tech salaries are...underwhelming. And before you mention it, no, my insurance costs (which are minimal) do not justify the $90000 or so pay gap in similar position in the similar branch of the company between Spain or US that I was being offered. When I was interviewing post-graduation in Uk and Germany I consistently got offers between 27 and 50k Euros/Quid. That imho, was too low compared to what companies in US were willing to pay me.
