You replied to a claim about “most software” with a site that compares big tech companies, and only their US offices. The world is much bigger than your bubble.

Please omit swipes like "your bubble" from HN comments. They're against the site guidelines because they degrade the container.

Fair, but what do you mean by “degrade the container”?

I mean that they poison the conditions for community. Does that make sense?

Do you have any data the counters what I’m saying? I know people in other countries don’t make the same salaries but they are “mostly” doing pretty well for their region

Prove me wrong is bad argumentation.

The burden of proof is on the person making the claim. Do you have any data to backup your claim?

I gave some proof and I’m speaking from experience. I grant that my perspective my be biased so if there is any data to the contrary then I would love to be enlightened. My goal isn’t to point out if someone is wrong for the sake of it, I hope to teach, learn or both. This was such a shocking revelation to me that I was hoping for some data.
