Just to give one data point I'm in Poland and I'm earning around 3500€ in a fully remote senior developer/engineer position working on AI tech in a company of around 1k employees. I'm one of the best paid people among my colleagues. The absolute top range job offers in this field in my country would be somewhere around 5000€ but that may be available only to a few developers in the entire 40 million country. I'm sure one could argue that one US engineer is worth 2+ polish engineers but I'm doubtful it's such a large difference. Quite the opposite in fact, I heard rumours that our engineers are quite valued internationally, once you get past the language barrier of course.

Just my 3 cents.

I work for Google in Switzerland and I have plenty of polish colleagues. The salaries here start around 150k per year, including bonus.
150k what, CHF? How much is that in currencies anyone knows anything about, and is it pre- or post-tax?
CHF is somewhere between USD and EUR. 150k pre tax, around 110-120 post-tax.
