> A tech worker in Norway also pays less for healthcare and housing

Also doesn't start their work life with tens of thousands of debt at exorbitant rates that can't be discarded, childcare costs less, they get paid time off for leisure and for being sick, don't have to keep a rainy day fund of 6 months in case they get in a crash, get scammed with an ambulance ride and hospital bills, and lose their job over it, etc. etc.

There is so much more than just raw numbers for a salary it's kind of sad how many people use that as the only metric.
