This is very American centric. Whites in Europe are lucky to earn half that on architect positions (please don’t come up with „standard of living” and „social services and benefits”).

This is great. It would be beneficial to also see other forms of compensation including bonus at a minimum, RSUs, etc. Sometimes a dip in salary might be explained by these other factors, so it might tell a more complete story.

I've heard the same thing about Canada.

I agree that we need to abolish the taboo of not talking about salaries. It creates an information asymmetry that primarily benefits employers.

By "whites" here, I assume you mean "white-collar workers". Usually, in vernacular, "whites" is taken as a slightly derogatory metonym for "white people", so I was initially slightly taken aback by your comment. Sorry if I was being obtuse, but I have never heard the term "whites" used in this fashion.

Why are dev salaries so much lower in Europe than in America?

As a developer based in Europe looking at these numbers is quite depressing.

It would be interesting to see something similar from someone that worked in SV for 10+ years.
