    You’re hiring junior programmers for $145k a year? Americans have too much money, I swear. The rest of the world has juniors on less than a third of that if they’re in Europe.

      Software engineers in the US can get their total annual compensation packages in the millions at the very very highest levels, or in the 300k range for normal senior engineers who don’t dedicate their entire lives to total comp.

      We really get hosed here in Europe when it comes to software engineering salaries. It’s not the tax rates either, there’s just less money in the game.

      If income were equally distributed then everyone would make like 130k

      Proportionally 100k is what most people used to make in the us before the post ww2 corruption

            I’m born and raised in South America. First time I went into first world and saw the price of milk, as a tourist, with my South American salary, I freaked out because I couldn’t afford it.

      Very very few companies I know of hire at that - except maybe in like New York and California where the cost of living is much higher anyways?
