#2Interesting article, but they don't link to the data, just suggest that you build the dataset yourself with Google. I'm also not seeing mention of cost of living.
> For ease of comparison we’ve converted all numbers to USD ($).
That seems a strange choice, given that this is Europe. The target market for this blog post must not be Europeans.

#3Comparing salaries across European countries without any mention or adjustment by cost of living? What's the purpose?

Thankfully (and tragically) the calculation between euro and dollar is very easy now.

It makes sense to me. It lets you compare against US salaries and standardizes the EU currencies.

#6Hmm I wonder how they did the TC though since the value of stock has absolutely plummeted now.
On salary I'm well below the median value here despite being a senior engineer at a large international company, in a department that pays slightly higher on average.
Salaries in Europe are pitiful nevertheless, and then you've gotta add the 40% income tax and 25% VAT too :(

#7>We’ve used publicly available job boards and self reported data points on European data pay to collect data for 500 jobs across 260 companies.
Unfortunately this isn't a particularly useful methodology. Pay data isn't a legal requirement in job ads in Europe (yet) and most job ads opt not to include the data.
Publicly available salary is tricky but there's plenty of reliable, highly accurate pay-to-access sources like the Radford Aon Comp Survey: https://radford.aon.com/en-us/products/surveys/technology-co...

> compare against US salaries
But without factoring in cost of living that's surely rather meaningless too
Re: Europe data salary benchmark 2023
#9The median for EU vs US salaries seems likely to be around the same, but the high end in the EU is completely neutered compared to the US. Even in top companies like e.g. Meta, the pay in the US is significantly higher.

While it does let you compare against US salaries, almost all EU countries use the Euro. Certainly all of the ones mentioned in this post do. If you're interested in just a raw number rather than a cost of living weighted number (which this post seems to ignore), converting any stragglers to Euro would have been simplest for European readers.
That said though, as I mentioned, I don't think Europeans are the target market for this.
