There is no one in Europe making €100K+ annually.

Just kidding... at least I don't know anyone personally. But maybe the Head of R&D of the company I work for could be close to that mark, at least he's driving a Porsche.

Yeah.. not useful I know, sorry.

Are we talking Eurozone or Europe? I know programmers in Zurich making >= 130K Francs a year (which comes in at over €100K).

[vostok]

Or >= 300k CHF, but it's 1am in Zurich. Or similarly large amounts in GBP if you don't limit yourself to the continent.

I know at least one American unicorn will pay far more than €100k in cash to new graduates in London.

Even though I'm not a new graduate, I work in London so interested to know which unicorn this is.

I've not seen new graduates hit these sorts of numbers when I've been looking at the market. I'm sure there must be some, however I'd have assumed it was very rare. Still it's always useful to know what sort of competition might be out there when hiring, so genuinely interested in the details!

Oh yes of course, I totally forgot about our rich Swiss friends. Salaries close to SF are possible there I heard.

[JonRB]

The living costs are also extremely high there (Also in a SF spirit) - For an impression of this see the big mac index.

[sawmurai]

But that is mostly compensated my relatively low tax rates.

[curiousgal]

A quant in London probably makes at least that much.

There's plenty in famous tech companies in northern Europe.
