Expect 30-50% lower in Europe, 40-60% lower in other markets. +> **Indicative only — large variance applies.** These figures are US market base salaries (2025-2026). Europe runs 30-50% lower, other markets 40-60% lower. Total compensation (equity, bonus, RSUs) can significantly exceed base, especially at startups and FAANG. Experience level, location within a country, company stage, and negotiation all create wide variance. Use these as orientation, not negotiation anchors. | Role | Entry | Mid | Senior | Notes | |------|-------|-----|--------|-------|
