Title: As a developer, I&#x27;ve found that it&#x27;s just not worth it to respond to tech companies &#x2F; recruiters seeking engineers, unless they&#x27;re based in the USA. Companies based anywhere else, in my experience, expect to pay <i>less than half</i> the rate that US companies will pay.<p>Why is this? There are possible causes having to do with tax rates and culture, but has anyone really looked into it? How big a contributor is this (rather than, say, immigrants as percent of total population, or university quality) to the fact that the US has Google and Apple and Facebook and Twitter, and the rest of the world has… JustEat and Spotify?
