Does this mean EU tech workers are now even more expensive for US companies?

• zelag 1y ago
  In most cases EU tech workers that work remotely for a US company get their invoices paid in USD (same with the outsourcing agencies), so I'd say no.

    Pretty normal to have a contract in euros if you’re using e.g. remote.com

    Yes, but they may ask for more USD than they would if the dollar were stronger against the Euro.

    But they are spending locally in EUR or whatever their currency is.

  yeah but they're still >50% off SFBA salaries. SFBA comp for a sr dev can easily be $200k+ (and can go higher, lots of anecdotes on here about $350k+ salaries at BigtechCos), for an EU dev scratching 90k euro is considered "good". Devaluing the dollar by 10% and increasing the price of EU salaries by 10% doesn't really change the picture.

  > even more They were extremely cheap, though? Even in richer Western European countries..
