Unless by Europe you mean the Apple feature availability special of UK/Germany/France/Spain/Italy

Spain and Italy are closer to the Poland bracket than the UK/Germany one, possibly even lower for some roles.

When I got hired by a very big conglomerate here in Sweden, he said Sweden and Poland are amongts the cheapest in Europe for developer salaries, and I would think devops will be close.

You can easily find a decent devops here (not Google-level, no) for much less than 70k I would say, especially if theyre under 30 or so.

My colleagues were talking about salaries in the range of $40-60k... About 8-10 years ago. And I don't think it got any cheaper

Still, it’s highly location-dependent, and mileage varies drastically between countries.

I’m an SWE with a background in maths and CS in Croatia, and my annual comp is less than what you claim here. Not drastically, but comparing my comp to the rest of the EU it’s disappointing, although I am very well paid compared to my fellow citizens. My SRE/devops friends are in a similar situation.

I am always surprised to see such a lack of understanding of economic differences between countries. Looking through Indeed, a McDonald’s manager in the US makes noticeably more than anyone in software in southeast Europe.

Only if you want to hire students. Experienced senior engineers have pretty much the same 70k+ price tag in Poland.

You won’t find anyone competent for that kind of money there.
