In my dad’s case it very likely did - it was lung cancer and still pre-symptomatic, but had already started to metastasize, so a later discovery would probably have meant a much worse prognosis category. I agree anecdotes don’t generalize a

I do agree but American big tech does hire quite a bit here, no? Amazon, google, msft, meta all have fairly big offices all over Europe. And many other big tech companies aswell, especially since fully remote jobs becoming way more common.

I may be an extreme outliar, but these numbers seem quite low to me? The highest salaries listed there were about 30-40% lower than my new grad salary. Granted it’s an offer for an american big tech company, but even many of my peers with l
