Side note: dang there are salary discrepancies in the SWE community.

There are salary discrepancies everywhere in the world. If you mean the salaries across countries, you're comparing apples and oranges. €100k in Berlin goes much further than $100k in Houston (a random big city in the US, I don't think Berlin is comparable to NYC)

Not to mention the person in Berlin has access to state funded medical support, a state funded pension, paid sick leave, paid ma/paternity leave, ...

Salaries are lower, but expenses for essential services are simply A LOT less in most of Europe.

There are big discrepancies in the US alone. I'm comparing mine (L6+) to those.
