Where do doctors in Europe end up in terms of salary compared to other professions in Europe? Are they in the same percentile as US doctors, but just everyone in Europe earns less or do European doctors also earn less than some other professions that earn less in the US than US doctors?
- Calavar 3y ago> Are they in the same percentile as US doctors, but just everyone in Europe earns less Europe is a big target, and there is quite a bit of variability country-to-country, but in general I would say yes. For example, in France the median physician salary is €120k/year and the median software engineer salary is €55k/year. So the median physician makes 2.1x the median developer. In the US you have a median of $110k for SWE and a median of $255k for physicians (NOT 350k, as I've addressed on HN previously - see the US CES data [1]). So about 2.3x.
