Please note that salaries are horribly depressed in France - in areas like Paris, the cost of living is comparable to places like San Francisco at easily 1/3 of the salary.
- sametmax 9y agoThe price are not in the same league as SF, let's not exaggerate. But yeah, the salaries are low compared to the US. I had several proposal to make 5 times what I currently make. However, money is not everything. Living is France is very sweet, and the US lifetyle is peculiar. Also, I'm currently an independent dev, and the salary implied I signed a 5 years contract. That's a lot of constraints for me. But yeah, compared to the US, dev are not well valued here. And you should see in Spain...
