Comment on Your biggest vulnerability is your shitty compensationparent

In the Netherlands many senior SWEs make €85K+ at the moment and that is what $100k+ is right now.

I'm writing this because I don't consider NL to be the top country in Europe where you can make a lot of money being a SWE. And I'm not talkin about FAANG salaries either, they are higher here.

which would be the top country then? i can't think of any country in europe that offers even that much. perhaps scandinavia, but life is more expensive there too.

Fintech in London pays fairly well if you're skilled for the role. £100k pa base is considered low (best companies pay £250k+).

Of course the downside are absurd taxes, up to 62% on a large part of that, so I hope people try to escape that as much as they can (considering the politicians and the wealthy do the same just orders of magnitude more and in the open).
