You should try to read before posting, the question is about contracting.

Also, FAANGs in Europe suck and most of their good developers move to the US.

The hiring bar is the same and the number of companies in europe that ask much harder questions for 4x lower salary is huge.

European state universities are pretty difficult and the requirements are much harder than US ones. No one hears sob stories - 59/60 is still a fail for 1 point, better luck next time. There are no privileges in Europe for sitting in first row.

At least we can agree on something. Try contracting, you can get more than FAANGs pay in Europe.
