I’ve hired and worked in both California and Europe. The cost of living is definitely not the same.

- YetAnotherNick 3y agoWhat's your point? There are places in California more expensive than most of Europe, and there are places in Europe which is more expensive than most of California. What I said was that if you take two cities which have same cost of living, the salary is like 2-3x higher in US.
- hnlmorg 3y agoI thought my point was pretty clear: there isn’t two cities with the same cost of living AND where the US still pays 2-3x higher in the US. Every time this conversation comes up on HN, the only examples people can cite is when remote working is taken into account. Which isn’t a fair comparison at all.
