Intel ousts its chief engineer, shakes up technical group after delays

I think the only developer market close to the US here is the financial sector in London. If you have solid experience in a desirable skill and finance experience you can get really good money. Outside that the pay is decent and I'm sure there are small pockets of specialists in small niches doing really well, but there's no FAANG level market.

Depending on which "US" you mean. If you mean regular US senior developer salaries (around $150k) then they're achievable, on a contract basis, in pretty much all major centers in Europe (London, Paris, Munich, Zurich, Amsterdam etc.). If you mean the $500k FAANG salaries, then I've yet to see an equivalent in Europe.

The “on a contract basis” is important. They’re not available as an employee. Contractors in the US get paid even more. Compare like with like.
