Did the survey ask if they wanted a pay cut to match European style wages?

Reaching 50 years old, never got this American complaint about our salaries.

The whole package is what matters.

We work to live, not live to work.

>>pjmlp+o4
I think Americans also are quite delusional about how low the European salaries are. Getting six figures in Europe isn't particularly hard anymore.

I am European: our wages are much, much lower than our American tech counterparts, without taxes double, with taxes we're on average making a third of them. And that's same cost of living.

>>emptys+18
It's absolutely not the same cost of living.

I don't know where you're living but in Copenhagen, yes it is, 100% the same COL as LA or Seattle.

>>emptys+t09
Copenhagen is probably one of the most expensive city in Europe and hardly representative of the continent as a whole. Even then, a quick Google search estimates that cost of live in Copenhagen is 15-25% lower than Seattle/LA, without even accounting for the absurd american healthcare costs.
