And that's not even the whole story. As an SDE, after taxes, SS (that I will not ever use), and rent+utils, I am left with 750 euro of disposable income. My effective taxrate is 38%. To have the same taxrate in Denmark you'd have to earn around 650k DKK, so close to 80K euro, not the 36k I am earning.

Or just start contacting, like many SDEs in Poland do, then your effective tax rate (taxes + health insurance + social security) is around 15-17%. The reality in Poland is that full-time employment (as opposed to self-employment) is for suckers.

I don't think it's possible to do that with Amazon :/
Yeah, American corporations typically don't allow it. But, they don't extraordinally well in Poland anyway, so they can just be avoided.
