Worse. Maybe 2/3 - 3/4 of us value

OP, Europe also has massive social care networks and other benefits, way more paid vacation, maternity leave, etc. Don't get confused with apples and oranges.

Depends on where. In Scandinavia juniors get more, but as you reach CD level the US pays way way more. For London, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin etc you're probably looking at a 40% pay cut.

Well I'm Canadian AD1 so we've got many of the same networks. Still looking to see if I'll be able to save if I move over or not. Not to mention many cities over there have higher cost of living.

Europeans have one of the highest levels of quality of life, if they're able to save and go on vacation for a month, I assume you could too with proper personal finances management. US is rough if you're coming from Canada...

In London I'm finding the pay a bit low in ratio to how expensive the living situation is but the benefits + vacation are incredible. It's fairly similar to cost of living vs. earning in Toronto.

Thanks @Weber toronto is a where im coming from and London is a top contender. I was hoping for things to loosen up a little financially if I moved...

Yeah, Toronto is quite expensive to live in as well and I find day to day things like phone bills, groceries or even a pint of beer to be more manageable in London. Rent is still high for what you get though.
