100k or more are not peanuts in Europe. But it's true that this may be part of the problem.



I’ve seen a lot more sub €100k programmers respond with salaries on HN and Reddit than ones close to €100k.

A quick google search says the average is 65k in Berlin and around 60k in the UK. London is probably higher for sure.


You can get 50-60k EUR in Eastern Europe these days if you know what you're doing. Sure, it's not a FAANG level salary, but cost of living is low here. So I would definitely not migrate to London if they offered 60k.


Yeah but 60k is not 100k.


You can buy an apartment for less than 100k in those places though.


In Munich 90k+ seems to be common. Berlin on the other hand has lower costs of living.


That would explain it, I should’ve looked at Munich. I thought Berlin would be higher.


I am making far less than 100k.
