On: Ask HN: How to increase SWE salaries in Europe?

[ronyfadel]

Start contracting remotely for US based companies.

For them, you’re cheap(-er) labor, for yourself, you’ll make more than what you used to make in Europe.

Not cheap if USD keeps falling compared to EUR. My income dropped about 12% since the last peak. Not that I'm complaining, but given the current USD circulation I'm thinking it might lose 50% of value in the next years.

It should self regulate, once American exports become cheap again.

12% is not much, the USD has had its ups and its downs in the last 20 years (compared to the EUR).

if you can, just invoice in EUR. that's what i did.

Seriously. There are many US-based remote positions e.g. in Who is hiring threads, but most of them are still limited to US residents.
