Ask HN: Why do companies outside the US pay so much less?
I don&#x27;t really care how much someone in USA earns.<p>As a software engineere in germany you are earning good money.<p>There are no killings in cities, affordable health care, high quality living standards, university costs 150$ for 6 month, no donald trump, 30 days real holiday (i take them, everyone does, every year), seldom over hours, parental leave.<p>Btw. IT is more than google, apple, facebook and twitter.<p>And no we do not have anywhere in germany rent prices like in NY or in SF. Perhaps, only, if even in the middlest of the centere.
