I just recently (few days ago) switched jobs, for a 66% pay increase. Just a datapoint to help you.

Would you be comfortable sharing some numbers ? Old compensation vs New one ?

I'm asking because I recently moving to the EU and all I see here is 40-60K ranges and I'm curious if there are some engineers making 100K or something salaries

All I can say is, even on the new job, I am still just below your lower range that you see in EU. Though I am not in the EU.

It's possible, although not that common (see https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/software-engineering-sala...).

country/region matters more than just being in the EU. There is a big difference between fx spain-germany-switzerland-denmark. What is a decent pay in germany is low in switzerland or denmark.
