There is no one in Europe making €100K+ annually. Just kidding... at least I don't know anyone personally. But maybe the Head of R&D of the company I work for could be close to that mark, at least he's driving a Porsche. Yeah.. not useful I know, sorry.
I discovered after being there a few months that I was on one of the lower contractor rates!
Good contract developers (freelancers) in London earn around £450/£500 a day which is clear of 100k euro by quite a margin. Job depends on the client. Job could last 3 months, could last 3 years. Unusual for a salaried permanent developer to earn that amount in London unless they were head of or near the top of a good dev team in a good firm. This is all excluding finance jobs. Finance jobs its pretty easy to get to…
Actually took a pay cut, used to be a contractor with a day rate ranging from £600-750 which had me averaging approx £150k/yr and paying much less tax. Considering going back to that soon, although a bit worried about Brexit uncertainty, but right now I'm seeing plenty of contractor roles offering that much, a few up to £1k/day.
100K/year after or before income taxes ? I'm almost there, but BEFORE taxes. Data-mining & applied math researcher, working remotely from France for a US/Chinese biotech company. Job is nice, paperwork is ok, it's mostly automated.

Don't contracts get a bit iffy beyond 2 years? i.e. HMRC sniffing around querying your expenses and IR35? Or perhaps that's just contractor forum paranoia.
Generally though, you're safe as long as you work at the same company for less than 24 months. Then you need to find a new contract or relocate (working at a different physical office or taking on multiple clients can get around IR35 (if you fall within IR35 you're considered to be a disguised employee, not an independent contractor, and must pay higher income tax).

> There is no one in Europe making €100K+ annually. Are we talking Eurozone or Europe? I know programmers in Zurich making >= 130K Francs a year (which comes in at over €100K).
