Gregory's Server@ferricoxide @schmittlauch @Gargron @pbuck Also keep in mind that in Europe you generally have more annual leave (20 days is legal minimum in the UK and Germany), mandatory sick leave, mandatory paid maternity leave, protections from being fired for no reason, etc.

Right, but the larger point on the various "that's a low compensation" posts is, if you're living in the US, you're unlikely to be able to *afford* to take on that low a pay-rate given the realities of life in the US.
Similar problems are run into by US-based employers seeking to expand their hiring-pools by offering 100% remote positions: unless they're paying higher-cost markets' rates, they aren't going to be able to attract talent from those markets.
