I'm not sure of the situation for software engineers but ones on the aerospace and mechanical side working in aerospace in Europe are paid something on the order of 50% less than ones in the US. I always assumed it's just a supply demand problem but I haven't run the numbers.
I can confirm, they do.
It's the interesting work tax, I guess. Though this doesn't look terrible: https://www.levels.fyi/de-de/companies/airbus/salaries/softw...
Ah, you were thinking of the German branch, I was talking about the French one, in Toulouse (I have a few friends working there).
There, a team lead is doing ~$4000 net per month. So not poverty, but not great either.
