Silicon Valley stays on top as tech salaries climb across U.S.
Meanwhile, EU salaries are stagnating and it&#x27;s one of the worst places to be a software engineer. An average salary for a software developer in Germany was 46000 Euro per year in 2020, and don&#x27;t forget, it&#x27;s one of the richest countries in Europe. The average in EU is even lower... After paying taxes a single person with that salary will only have 2400 Euro per month (~ 2800 USD). The guy who cleans our house in Germany without any education (an African refugee) makes more money than that. Even my friends from Ukraine (which is a much poorer country) don&#x27;t want to move there, because in Ukraine they only pay 5% taxes and cost of living is much lower. So they can afford a much better life comparing to German developers.
