Very nice work, the number of American flags I see here really has me thinking maybe I should move back home in a few years. (Like, 5 to 7 - I'm not leaving Finland until I become really fluent in Finnish. Call it a self imposed challenge.)
Can anyone tell me whether they think $100k+ salaries are more or less common over there compared to 2021? My first job out of college with Epic was around $90k at the finish, but I was coming in fresh from electrical engineering, I wasn't a CS major. I plan to head back with the Georgia Tech master's in comp sci, and I'm pretty sure I could crush any coding interviews that got thrown my way even now given a few weeks to revisit my old Neetcode 150 Anki card deck. The only thing which might hold me back is the languages I like on the job the most are painfully boring (Python, Javascript, good old fashioned SQL, Bash to shore up the organized-electron supply chain).
- CalRobert 2y agoSame, when I left the US in 2013 I was early career and the gap wasn’t as big but now it seems like European pay is just atrocious. I was ok with a 30% pay cut for quality of life, not 60%. Weak euro doesn’t help either.
- ryanwaggoner 2y agoThe public tech companies (and hot private ones) all pay $250-300k and up for senior devs who can pass the interview process.
- fsloth 2y agoIs the quoted range region specific or ”worldwide”?
- twojobsoneboss 2y agoOnly the megacap ones. For the other smaller but still public companies you need to be staff+ to hit that, and even then no guarantees
- ryanwaggoner 2y agoI work at one that is definitely not megacap, nor do we pay at the top of the market, and that’s below our range for senior, which is more like $300k-500k, depending on specialty and geographic area. Staff is more like $500-700k.
- twojobsoneboss 2y agoCrazy, that’s approaching OpenAI pay… is it in the AI area?
