    US salaries are just completely bonkers. 500k is “mid-level facebook”? What the actual fuck? Europeans are getting completely shafted. They are the cheap, qualified, tech labor of the US.

      One reason tech companies are able to give absurd salaries is to suppress competition. If they can price everyone else out from good engineers, they can keep competition low.
