Yeah, remote work for US companies for US non-geocoded salary is the way to go for Europeans. Imagine getting 900k TC as an E7 at FB Menlo Park vs 233GBP TC (150k base) as an E7 at FB London, with approximately the same living expenses.

There is a bunch of US companies that do that and EU devs can get 200-400k while working from some <1500 EUR monthly expenses place in Europe. Not sure who would care about EU/UK/CH-based FAANGs with the salaries they offer in the EU.

Which companies are examples of this? I know Gitlab is remote but changes based on location and ends up not being that good in somewhere like Dublin

It's tricky to find without networking; get yourself into a-team or a similar remote-friendly contractor agency first for 100-400/hour (interviews might be comparable to FAANG level of difficulty) and then network from there.
