The Trimodal Nature of Software Engineering Salaries in the Netherlands and Europe
“Most engineers making outsized compensation in Europe have done so by taking a moderate risk on a high-growth, road-to-public company, joining before the IPO, and negotiating for equity. I know engineers at Uber, Datadog, Airbnb and Doordash who have seen great rewards for joining before going public was a ‘done deal’. As time progresses, people working at companies that award large stock packages, and with stocks that see strong stock growth are also often in these positions.”
