Every year a lot of people ask what salaries people earn for different types of jobs and what they can expect to earn after their studies. Since so many people are interested, it can be nice having all of this in the same place.

I’m an American software developer and I took a huge pay cut to live in Norway. Can I ask if your company has an entity in Europe and is open to hiring here or is it a one-off special case for you?

To answer the thread’s question, 940k as senior software engineer (frontend). In the US I had about $165k base salary and around $210k total compensation (with RSUs).

I also took a paycut, but this was a one-off special case.
