Wow we are really getting underpaid here in Europe (Amsterdam). Max salaries for Seniors is really around 70k per year. Without an extra bonus.

Same here in Berlin, I got an offer with 75k p.a. as Sr. DS.

I mean one could cite the living costs, but then one also has to compare the different taxation / social welfare models. $350k+/year sounds huge, I would actually switch to Google for that amount (ofc. knowing what a senior/lead role encompasses).

Dunno if it makes up all the difference, but in U.S. vernacular, salaries are given pre-tax.
