Ask HN: Can you make 200k as a software engineer outside US?
Top level salaries I have seen in Switzerland&#x2F;London are around 140K CHF or £120k as permanent or 650-700 per day as contractor.
That is around 155k USD, which seem a fairly common salary in Bay Area&#x2F;NYC while it would be a top salary in those 2 markets above.
Also the big bonus&#x2F;shares culture is not as prevalent in Europe.<p>Anyone here making more than that or knows anyone that does?
