It doesn't have the salary, eng salaries are significant deflated in Europe when compared to North America

  Outside of tech it's not too different. Tech pay isn't even bad, it just doesn't exhibit the massively inflated salaries of the US. Software is an easier, less professional job than most professional fields, it doesn't make sense for it to command preposterous sums. Though American devs don't like having this fact pointed out to them.

    > Software is an easier, less professional job Are you in software development?
    • HeatrayEnjoyer 2y ago
      Yes, why? Coming from a family of actual engineers, I call myself a developer. Software workers haven't earned the title engineer.

        TBH I call myself and most software devs an engineer. It gives us something to aspire to.
