Short term contracts might be different, but 95% of normal software engineers in germany will e.g. never reach 100k. Including those in the large corporations. I think 200k might be barely in reach for a senior manager. In other countries/regions this will even be far lower.

It's a nonprofit looking for next years funding. An engineer defintatly ought to be paid as if it's a short term gig.

This might be part of the advantage America has over some European countries when it comes to elite talent.
