>> At one conference an Italian guy working in Switzerland told me at the company in England he was before the office was dominated by Greek and Italian developers.

Yeah, but it doesn't mean they are brighter than British ones. It just means it's cheaper to hire a Greek or Italian developer (that and culture differences that British people would also need to deal with).

Saying this as a developer from Lithuania working in the UK.

Which is crazy.... in the US, a developer from Nebraska is just as expensive as one from California for any given company.

The location of the company dictates the wages ( costs of living), not the source of the developer.... (unless we’re talking an H1B visa sham hire which isn’t the same as your situation)

If the developer from Nebraska plans to go back home after a period of time working in CA, they may be more likely to be content with lower salaries though. I wonder where these talented people in the EU plan to raise their kids/ retire.
