Facebook doesn't pay an average US salary, either (which is presumably why anyone stays). Based on levels.fyi, you'd be looking at 300-400k eur for an E5 in Berlin all-in.

Not sure I'd recommend it; there are less cartoonishly evil companies who still pay silly money in Europe available.

I don't think they pay you that much in Berlin. Why would they? All other companies pay less - no competition what so ever. Paying >100k is already super good, so they do probably around that.

There are a small number of FAANG-ish companies who pay very high salaries in Berlin, London, Dublin, etc etc.

(And of course Zurich, but Zurich is Zurich.)

I assure you that they pay more than that for halfway senior roles. Note that a lot of it would be in equity; the base salary would likely be in the 100-150k range, but one might get that again in equity.

I had a friend working there - he didn't make that much in senior roles.

They pay £271k at E5 for London according to levels.fyi so I presume that Berlin number is wonky.

It might be a buyout, or someone/some people moving to berlin from america.

if you are moving countries you keep your RSU allocation, but your wage is adjusted down/up based on local levels. (ie for london its .85 or something)
