So this plus even browsing job postings around England (which I can do better than job postings in Spain porque mi Espanol no es bueno), this seems generally true.
So big question. WHY are software developers paid so low in 1st world European countries, and so high in the US? Clearly a good software developer can save a company 100k, 200k, 500k Euros a year (think of replacing a bunch of office workers with a computer program). Why don't programmers get a bigger chunk of the pie?
GDP says the countries are fairly similar. Programming is a high skill job. Why would it pay so different in different locations?
