> but your payroll for 60 developers will be like 15 to 25 million dollars.

at 15 million dollars thats 250,000$ TC on average which is at least double the cost for the vast majority of the world.

€3,600 in isolation isnt much. but if you include the figma license, the intellij/visual studio license, the git(lab|hub) license, the windows license, the sentry license, the office365/gsuite license, the 1password license.

well, you get the idea. it becomes a large percentage of a headcount cost at some point. its death by 1000 cuts. especially for europeans or even worse: middle eastern devs

250k would be the company's price, not your TC. It depends on where you're working but it's not too far off to expect your company is paying +50-100% on top of your non-options compensation as their all-in cost to employ you.

Wut?

I believe the parent comment is saying they're generally underpaid.
