  That’s what I was thinking. I moved to Europe and my salary was halved. After three years of scratching this “living in Europe” itch, I’m ready to move back to the U.S. An entry level developer should be making no less than 90K.

    Yep. Few people where I live envy the US, but if you’re a developer the money is no joke. You have to expect that eventually all those big American tech companies will start offshoring, given the crazy money they could save.

      That’s what I tell fellow devs around here. Try the U.S. for one or two years, especially if they offer shares. Then move back. Profit!

    €70k as a developer? That’s a middled aged EM salary here in Sweden

      Unfortunately I have to ask, what’s the meaning of EM?

      I bet. I’m assuming taxes are way higher up there too.
