We're not quite there yet with the data we have :). Anecdotally though, it seems like companies in Europe pay less and take out more taxes.
Yep cut the compensation by about 50% and increase the taxation by 50% :)

We actually suspect that people who are paid less or are underpaid are more likely to report their salaries. For example, it seems like Glassdoor data skews low.
Do you have any data to support this?

How did you determine that? Perhaps your expectations are just high?
I would be more interested in data that shows how much money an engineer takes back home (net income) compared to the rest of the world. eg Software Engineer from Atlantis earns 100 000 USD but pays 55% of tax so takes home only 45000 Software Engineer from Middle-Earth earns 60 000 USD but pays 10% tax and takes home 54000 etc
You also have to take into account things like quality of life in the city vs a long commute if living in the suburb.
I mean iphone costs about the same anywhere in the world ( okay it's sometimes more usually not less (Brazil?)) so there's that...
Why only the big four?
