Be the change you wish to see.

If professionals like you join European companies it will help grow their business and offer competitive salaries.

That's absolutely not how any of this works.

If they can get top talent for half the salary they won't suddenly start paying more.

There is only one solution: EU governments heavily subsidize those European cloud providers which enables them to offer top salaries and therefore attract top talent.

It would also help not taxing those incomes at 60%.

Every time I look at a permanent role in Europe, if I didn't already close the tab based on the offered salary, I plug the number into a take-home calculator and then I close the tab for sure.

~30% salary cut isn't a change many people wish to see.

There's a reason gambling companies end up paying more than market rates for the same roles, and it's not out of generosity.
