>Salaries for perm positions being "significantly lower" in the US than in EU

On HN, we hear all the time that the inverse is true. Is it because high salaries are limited to Silicon Valley?

In Western Europe, freelancers with good credentials and a large network can have yearly gross revenuу of 100..200k€. Is this comparable to US freelance revenue?

I guess one difference is how much of the gross income goes to taxes/social insurance contributions. This can differ a lot from country to country.

I’m at the upper end of that spectrum, so I think yes.
