What's your point? There are places in California more expensive than most of Europe, and there are places in Europe which is more expensive than most of California.

What I said was that if you take two cities which have same cost of living, the salary is like 2-3x higher in US.

I thought my point was pretty clear: there isn’t two cities with the same cost of living AND where the US still pays 2-3x higher in the US.

Every time this conversation comes up on HN, the only examples people can cite is when remote working is taken into account. Which isn’t a fair comparison at all.
