Interesting definition of Europe that includes UK but doesn't include Serbia not to mention Russia.

> Interesting definition Europe that includes UK

Pray tell, why?

Unless we jetted out into the atlantic the day after brexit we are definately still geographically and culturally European not to mention in the eu for two years and chances are we will negotiate some deal even after that.

Well currency matters if you want to compare all answers. Also, the question specifically says "in €, otherwise specify" ( edit : ok, I see it was added later). It's weird that you are paid in USD in Europe, isn't it? How comes?

A lot of US companies tend to pay in USD regardless of locale when hiring remote.

WWCD for UK people though, huge payrise in GBP if you're paid in USD

Do your own cost of living estimate. Last year my Junior Software Developer (with ETH Masters) balance sheet looked as follows : Income:8650 Taxes :1640 (income, social etc. ) Food/Drink/Dates: 1560 HealthInsurrance : 346 Rent : 1640 (2 rooms 64sqm) downtown nice part of town Other : 400 So i end up saving 3k per month But i don't have kids that would be >2.5k per kind for daycare.

Is this CHF or did you convert to USD or EUR?

The CHF is almost identical in value to the USD these days.

Which brings us to my original point again: noone cares where the landmass is. Russia does not identify with Europe by choice. On Russian TV there is nothing but mocking Europe and all it stands for; majority of Russians poll as actively hostile to Europe. Russians can't freely travel across Europe (nor can Europeans to Russia). Russia conducts military exercises simulating attacks on European capitals, and actively…

Because what matters is context. Whether or not Russians fantasize about attacking Berlin has absolutely nothing to do with conversations about tech salaries. I'd say that in the context of conversations about European tech salaries, Western Russian cities should absolutely be included.

Why not the eastern ones then? There is hardly any discernible ethnic, linguistic or cultural difference between Smolensk and Vladivostok.

In case you are interested, Urban Linker (french recruitment agency) publish somewhat detailed salary stats (in French), last one is form 2016 [0]. This only covers Parisian region, but it's really interesting to see how technology affect the salary.
