Yea, you'll really only find salaries like that in America.

Or Europe or Australia. So, y’know, all of the developed world. (With apologies to whomever I have inevitably missed.)
Yes and no, in Europe outside London and Berlin (big capitals) you’ll find that developer salaries are much lower than expected compared to the US.

That’s pretty much across the board.

Swiss, Scandinavian and Finnish and probably Danish and Dutch jobs pay way better than Berlin or London Jobs do.
Average developer salary in the Netherlands is 50k...
I'm a senior in the UK with about two decades of programming for money and I make less than a junior on the west coast of the US.

Even in London that would possibly be the case, it's just the way the market is.
