this is no different to me wanting a Bugatti Chiron for $20,000

compromise: you'd be able to hire some of the top engineers in the world that live in Europe at half that salary

or accept your business isn't viable and fold

Even in Switzerland, one of the most expensive places in Europe, I would consider 150k USD to be a good deal - and I'd have to pay all the tax and social insurance parts out of that too (I have a company).

For 125k in almost any other country on the continent you'd be extremely competitive, if not beating, any local offer.
