All of Europe seems to be quite a stretch. I am earning north of 100k euro as IC in the Netherlands, most of my peers are doing the same here.
I also know quite a few people in Ireland, Germany and Sweden doing better than me.

In NL? What roles do you and your peers have?

I am a regular/core developer, others are either core or seniors.

Are you working at a special place like Google? A quick Google search lets one think 100k is absolutely exceptional in NL.

No, not Google or other FAANMG company.
That's the problem with quick Google searches and not living and exploring job market in the given country. I agree that there are truly a lot of developer jobs in NL paying in 40-70k range. However, there is non-exceptional number of jobs paying above that.
I won't name the company I am working for, I will just outline industries which offer 80-120k+ here in NL: obviously, FAANMG; financial institutions; hospitality; healthcare. And most probably a number of others that I am not aware about.
Also there is quite a discrepancy in pay among companies even in the same domain, so generalizing is difficult. E.g. I used to work in TomTom and I know the pay there is in 40-70k range. However, I cannot say that it will be the same for e.g. Phillips.
