Amazon pays less than local outsourcing companies in Eastern Europe.

Faang salary my arse.

Romania? That’s why companies go there and other distant countries. To pay below market rate with huge press support. I experienced it first hand from Continental and Hella. If I have the same job in Germany, I will get normal salary. If I take job in eastern branch, I will get 1/3 salary. And local companies offered me 1/2. Obviously I stayed in Germany.

Yup.

Faang salary only exists on the US. Even the richest countries in Europe don't have those salaries for programmers (maybe if you work on finance or some niche subject).

What numbers?

I haven't worked there, but I've seen salary reports online between 1.5k-2k euros for a senior, after taxes, per month.
