Guys who are working for fang in europe, how is compensation like ? Is this comparable to that of US for SWE ? TC: 60k € YoE: 6 years
no man. compensation in Europe is not comparable to US at all. FANG definitely pays better than others, but not even close to US levels. btw 60k in which city? and how much experience do you have?
60k in essen, Germany man. Its comparatively cheap. Should move there soon. Hows zalando ?
it's shit show. i have heard some teams are better but not sure. pay is also not that great. so wouldn't recommend.
50-60% if what people make in Bay Area, Seattle or NYC. Zürich is the only exception known to me where you get comparable salaries.
I should add here that Zurich COL is also comparable if not higher than Bay Area.
But with lower taxes, depending where you live in the area. Living in Zürich itself you can get away with 35% overall tax on a 350k salary. That makes up for a lot. And no taxes on capital gains whatsoever. Something people tend to forget when calculating the financial situation.
Europe is better for settling not for saving or being successful!
Without saving anything .. how would you settle down?
You would settle but saving would be less. But education and health cost would be less. Most of the things would be taken care by government
No, if you exclude Switzerland. I've seen numbers like 120k€ for google Munich
Wow.
Amazon Berlin can offer TC above 100k as well. Still too far from US numbers
As what? Yoe? Role?
