The problem of software developers in France is not that French salaries are lower than other countries overall, but software development salaries in France compared to other professions. In North America and Northern Europe countries software development is a high paying job, in France not as much.

But things are changing. Yes a lot of software dev jobs are crap (typically IT Services companies) but you also have Big Tech and other high paying tech companies in France. While it's still a bit less than other countries, as a senior you can easily get a TC above 130k euros even as an individual contributor.

it would seems that striking is detrimental to the goal of attracting more Big Tech?

it makes sense that a lot. of people are hired by It service companies, as these are not easily moved out.

usually it is easier to get talent to move to another country, than to setup a subsidiary.
