Amazon pays less than local outsourcing companies in Eastern Europe. Faang salary my arse.

  Faang salary only exists on the US. Even the richest countries in Europe don't have those salaries for programmers (maybe if you work on finance or some niche subject).

  What numbers?
  • bogdanu 3y ago
    I haven't worked there, but I've seen salary reports online between 1.5k-2k euros for a senior, after taxes, per month.

      Seniors hit about 4-5k eur in Poland. Poland is far worse than Germany tbh.

        On average, I would say a senior would get between 3k and 4k euros in RO, at a regular company. It depends a lot on city too. In bucharest salaries should be higher. Obviously Amazon thinks that mortages can be paid just by flexing their employee badge.

          I was wrong, seniors hit 4.5k net base salary, L5s hit about 3.5k net base salary, and L4s about 2.5-2.7k net base.

  Romania? That’s why companies go there and other distant countries. To pay below market rate with huge press support. I experienced it first hand from Continental and Hella. If I have the same job in Germany, I will get normal salary. If I take job in eastern branch, I will get 1/3 salary. And local companies offered me 1/2. Obviously I stayed in Germany.

    Yup.
