Software Engineer Salaries in Europe and the World (2021)

Consequence.

Initially its the landscape of why America has all these big techs and we don't. US is making a perfect landscape for these companies while we discuss how we can block them for coming here.

Additionally cost of living is much higher in the US cities. I was always shocked when someone earns 100k but when your cost of living is like 95k, it really doesn't mean a lot.

If I earn 3k a month here, but my cost of living is only 2k, I proportionally have more at the end of the day.

Also it does not mention any form of benefits like healthcare, insurance, pension.

One thing that is great for these salaries is low tax in the US. Here I would have to turn in like 50% if I were to earn like that.
