While it does let you compare against US salaries, almost all EU countries use the Euro. Certainly all of the ones mentioned in this post do. If you're interested in just a raw number rather than a cost of living weighted number (which this post seems to ignore), converting any stragglers to Euro would have been simplest for European readers.
That said though, as I mentioned, I don't think Europeans are the target market for this.
Well, since this post includes the UK saying "all the countries in this post use Euros" is plain wrong.
I think COL in itself matters far less than people think. COL difference is certainly not proportional to salary difference.
I don't think this is specifically for EU readers either. I think it's aimed at a global audience since they use USD and mention US roles as well as their data on EU roles.

No, sometimes the COL is much cheaper than the salary discrepancy. Sometimes it’s worse.
Which is precisely why COL is absolutely vital when making any comparisons.
Fair point.
