Don't know about London, but the ration [salary]/[cost of life] in Paris is way better than in SF for a good software engineer.

- dasil003 13y agoThat's meaningless since costs vary along different axes. I just mean objectively software engineers have not traditionally been valued the same in Europe as they have been in the US.
- mickeyben 13y agoDon't know about that. According to Glassdor the average salary is about €39k[1]. In my experience a "good" salary for a french engineer is between €42-50k. Housing isn't cheap in Paris - count about 12k-18k for 430-650 sqft. Going out isn't cheap either. I've lived a year in SF and had definitely a better [salary]/[cost of life]. It was 5 years ago though. 1. http://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/france-engineer-salary-SRCH_IL.0,6_IN86_KO7,15.htm http://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/france-engineer-salary-SRC...
