SWE rarely earn $100k gross/yr TC in Western European nations. It's closer to $50k~$80k in many cases.

I rounded up a bit for nicer numbers, but it's more like 75-95 than 50-80 this year.

  • For good companies; there are _quite_ a few companies that underpay and not as many interesting job opportunities. Let's just say "at least 2x~2.5" and move on.

    Also, even if you did not mention it, UK is a bit of a special case (English-speaking countries that has thus been attracting quite a lot of international talent (and companies) at least until recently), I wouldn't put it in the same bucket as EU countries.

    • There is a lot of everything and I got lowballed with 85 today (with three mandatory hebeas corpus days, while the rest of the team is in a different country lol).

      I'm not sure where the UK part comes from zo? Nobody upthread mentioned it.
