Since Germany was mentioned specifically, I'm curious what the laws are around decreasing pay, if it's as hard as firing someone, if some threshold or percentage would be considered a constructive firing, etc. This could eliminate some of the risk of high compensation if, for example, you could hire someone at $100k/yr USD equivalent and then after a reasonable review cycle lower the pay for bad performance.
