I would imagine if we compared software engineering salaries in these same countries you would see that similarly software engineers in the US are also "overpaid". Software United States of America $95,879 United Kingdom $68,664 = 72% USA Germany $61,390 = 64% USA France $47,617 = 50% USA Medicine United States of America $313,000 United Kingdom $138,000 = 44% USA Germany $163,000 = 52% USA France $108,000 = 35% USA (I believe the software salaries I've sourced are somewhat conservative) [0] https://www.codingame.com/work/blog/find-developers/average-... |
