You probably have access to better social services and vacation time etc that partially bridge the gap.

- DandyDev 3y agoAbsolutely! Honestly, I wouldn't trade my job for a US job 3x the compensation. I enjoy top health care, unlimited paid sick leave, unlimited vacation days with a soft-enforced minimum of 30 days per year etc. Am I sometimes jealous when I see US tech compensation? Sure! But like you say, it's about much more than money + stock.
- ilikehurdles 3y agoThe healthcare in the US is excellent for people with good insurance, which the jobs offering 3x the compensation will provide. I would never trade the quality of my healthcare with the healthcare my German family gets. But you definitely significantly better vacation/sick leave terms over there and it’s not even close.
