Hello everyone,
Good day!
I was trying to compare the Microsoft salaries in US with Europe and found a considerable difference. It looks like people in Europe are getting paid quite less than the people in US. Can someone please share any reasonable explanation for it? Or it’s the same and my research is incorrect?

Hey, European here. The sallaries are generally way lower in the EU countries for multiple reasons. Cost of living is generally way lower(except few big cities in western europe which are still not comparable to big cities in the US), way more vacation time than in the US - 30-60days in some countries, also taxation, since countries generally have state funded retirements and healthcare, the employer pays a certain amount to the social security which then pays for peoples healthcare and retirements. To give you a rough idea, if the employee in my country is getting paid 1000 euros a month, the cost of his employment is somewhere between 1400-1800 euros for the employer.
