Can someone filter this data and throw it into BigQuery? Grouping salaries by years of experience and location would be interesting.

Well, having had a few times the opportunity to do such a move, I stayed at my previous job. Good atmosphere, cool company (a big one), located in such a way that my 15 km bike commute is 70% in a forest, no travel, yell at my children every night so that they do their homework/wash teeth etc. What would these 100k give me? Not much - I will comfortably retire when time comes. I would consider a 500k increase as it w…
What about working for 2 years then taking a break to work on side projects and travel for a year. With a high income you can do this; essentially working 66%
Beside the fact that I hate to travel (I accumulated 2+M miles in 8 years, I had enough) I have children. I want stability for them, a routine in which they will feel safe.
I like to work in an office because it gives me two separate worlds (office and home) which is good for my sanity.
Finally, I live in France where the costs of life are quite high and I will not be able to easily find a similar job (there are just a few) so when I retire, this is for good.
I am considering a sabbatical, though.

> Because it usually comes with built-in social security and nationwide health insurance. That doesn't make any sense. There's social security in the US as well and the company is paying for my health insurance. edit: Honestly, why the downvotes? What he was stated was inaccurate and doesn't account for any of the pay differences between the US and Europe.
While taxes in Europe are a bit higher, here is what you get in return: 1. Paid-for healthcare. In the US, I pay close to $2K/month premium for a high-deductible health insurance plan. 2. Subsidized child-care (kindergarten, etc.) 3. Paid-for higher education. That in itself is worth at least $250K/child. 4. Great public transport, which eliminates the need to have more than 1 car (as opposed to 3-4 per household in…
not true in NL, which country are you referring to?
Re: Ask HN: How much do developers earn in Europe?
#185The salary in EU for developers (medium and above) is already lower than developers in big cities (e.g. Beijing, Shenzhen) in China. I guess in the coming years people will try to find job in China for top pay if US is not an option.

How so? Their CAPITAL, and decent chunk of territory are on the continent called Europe. a couple tens of millions citizens live there. Just counting those would put them in the first ten-ish most populous countries in Europe.
Did they move their capital? I thought Ankara was in Asia.
Good catch :) I'm so accustomed to Istanbul being the center of the Turkey's economy and former Ottoman power. However, that does not change the point. Istanbul and the European chunk of Turkey (+ Izmir and Aegean coast which was in "Byzantine" zone of influence) is a huge chunk of Turkey.
