Netherlands seems to do a lot of things right, and I know the US isn't making all the right tradeoffs, but lack of safety net is one of the reasons US pay is higher.

US pay is higher because there is a bottomless pool of VC money in California, not because of onerous hiring regulations.

Discord is wildly unprofitable, it is held up entirely through investor largesse.
