*If you're in the US.

Some interns in the US make more than experienced engineers in Europe...

I was kind of assuming that, since FAANG are American, but I'd guess they probably have foreign employees as well.

Canadians make pretty much the same as Europeans, I think. The Americans have a bunch of monopolies, and are characteristically weird and nationalist about who they share the spoils with. (I know, it's not all of you guys, but it's definitely some)

Yeah, that's true. It amazes me how some of my team in NYC will make double what I make, but live like I lived when I was a student, and be amazed that I own a car.

And go bankrupt when something happens on the way to work because they slipped and fell on the ankle.
Thanks, but I'll take lower pay over financial bankruptcy.
