Yeah, but compare the salaries to the US and then factor in taxes.

Do this comparison both ways and factor in what you pay in addition for American high-stress/low-quality healthcare, college, retirement, etc. If you’re on the higher-end of the SV tech salaries, you’ll probably still come out ahead but for everyone else even Denmark tends to be cheaper.

And healthcare, public transport, vacations, sick leave, maternity and paternity leave, layoff notice, layoff package, ....

Personally the salary isn't worth it.
