Uh oh: President Trump leads Biden 49% to 43% in a two-way race.
Can anybody share insight into AWS SDE salaries/offers for locations in Europe? I'm especially interested in Germany. I know salaries in the EU are significantly lower than US but it's hard to get good info from the usual sources.
A friend of mine was offered 65k base in Berlin as SDE1. 30-40k in RSUs (over 4 years), I think?
Were they already in Berlin or did they pay relocation? German university?
German university, relocated within Germany
Pretty sure it's significantly less (like 40-50% less than what you'd be making in the states).
Yeah, it's a little strange considering the insurance situation. Intel pays FICA taxes plus insurance premiums but in EU I think they'd only have to pay their portion of insurance taxes. I guess overall salaries are just lower in EU so they don't have to compete.
SysDE2 but comparable band. Located in Ireland though. 80k base and 60RSU awarded 2y ago.
Not bad. Were you already in Ireland or did they offer relocation? Any signing?
In Germany for SDE1 is close to 65 and I guess close to 70 to SDE2 + 50 RSUs awarded in a 5 yr span
Have you figured out any numbers? I have a possible offer from Amazon Berlin and not able to gauge the numbers.
If it makes any difference, top tier American university, 4 years experience.
Are you planning on relocating to EU because of visa issues?
No, I can work in US and EU. Just looking for a change of scenery.
