They can’t. I’m shocked when I receive job solicitation from EU based companies. I got one from a Spanish company last year where the non-inflation adjusted salary was worse than my first year salary in a non-expensive locale 20 years ago.

I’d have chalked it up to just spam except the inquiry included recent conference talks & job history that wasn’t linked in simple ways.

Could have been a bot but one that did really interesting connection analysis but not basic salary survey linkage.

My only explanation for this is that you can buy a lot less with a dollar than a euro. Just out of curiosity, inside what range of money was the offer? Around 20K, 30K, maybe more?

There are dozens of threads where people from eu try to find an explanation. It's always "it sucks". Nothing else.
