Dublin is in a weird situation. Loads of immigrant here. I lived there couple years and worked in one of those big corps.<p>Salaries do go quite up a while but statistics on the corporate ladder are stacked firmly against immigrants, the higher you go the less chance you have to find non local people.<p>With soft career ceiling and continuous influx of people salaries are driven down. You can still make a fine living, but nothing compared to the colleagues on the other side of the ocean.
