Obviously untrue, any place on earth you get rewarded for being better at your job, either directly by being promoted or after asking/getting a higher salary, or indirectly by being able to change jobs by outright being better. This is true in most sectors, especially in software where it's really easy to switch jobs if you have the slightest amount of brain power. Where are all these misconceptions come from? And how are they so far from reality they don't even pass the slightest of critical thinking?

so where are all the EU global software/tech companies? why is EU so reliant on US software? why do the best EU software developers move to US?

  Because the US has vastly larger capital markets, and they suck in money globally such that there's more funding for new, high risk reward software.

    why dont they invest in the amazing EU software companies then? Google bought DeepMind, so its possible but not much interest

  Do you think those things are all because of "there is no incentive in general in EU to be excellent at your job"? How on earth is all these things you're complaining about related? You're seemingly only interested in listing what you think EU does wrong, but none of your arguments are connected, why don't you write one proper comment instead of this trash you're sharing currently?

As a software engineer that has worked in multiple German companies I can tell you that it’s not the case, or at least in Germany. If you do an amazing job, they would praise you and give you a promotion with 2% salary increase and more work. To add salt to the I wound, your colleague that has been on paternity leave for 3 months and on sick leave for 4 months would get the same salary increase
