Insightful as always! 🙌🏻

There's also another interesting thing that I've noticed, in recent years, among Indian/Pakistani SSE's (and in my circle of friends) in their preference to move to UAE (or more recently KSA) from EU. Their argument is that they get similar or more salary compared to EU but without the tax deductions and of course being closer to their home country as well.

^Perhaps this can be another data point for collection in future compensation related deep dives!

Central Europe perspective: working in US-BigTech pays much better, but limits opportunities to grow into management/leads/architect etc. positions - as these are usually kept for US-based folks.
