I live in EU, earn approx €52,000 as a senior software engineer (whatever that might mean) and live a happy live with a house, mortgage, wife, children, ... Don't consider myself rich, but doing good. Should I change jobs?!

$168,000 - $350,000 for a Software Engineer seems outrageous. What am I missing?

Substack | San Francisco, New York City, remote (US & Canada only) | full time

We're beginning to build writer capabilities into Substack's Android & iOS apps.

Today, writers, podcasters, and video creators use Substack on mobile web to write drafts and manage their publication.

They deserve a world-class native app experience and we're looking for the right engineer to help us make this happen. We're a fully remote team with an extremely exciting mission: we're making the Internet work for writers. Come join us.

That's the US market! And yes, you could earn something like that if you work remotely for an American company.

(I moved from Chicago to the UK and took my salary with me. It's been nice!)

That's the upper end of US salaries for engineers, it's definitely not the median. But in general US, tech salaries are higher than every other location. If you can swing it remotely, it might be worth it for you.

Living in the U.S. will get you a higher salary, not that small of taxes, but then extremely high cost of living. Homes are used by investors as assets to be traded and not lived in by people and we in the U.S. pay privatized costs for literally everything.

However, those salaries are indeed extremely high. I am surprised given Figma was purchased by Adobe.

Your nickname sounds Dutch, if you are in the Netherlands or Belgium and earn 52k gross as a senior, you are probably being underpaid.
