Because Europe is not at all competitive for tech talent. Fresh graduates earn significantly more money in America than senior-level developers in Europe, with the quasi-exceptions of London and Switzerland (neither in the EU).

Why would European developers allow themselves to be shafted out of millions of dollars by staying in Europe?

In London it's only fintech, rest of the IT salaries are a joke compared to SV.

This is false.

The UK left the EU on 31 January. It is now in a “transition period” where it follows EU rules and trade is the same. But it is out of the EU. If you’re going to make factual corrections please check your facts.
