Absolutely. The free healthcare alone makes up for the lower salaries in France.

My friend is diabetic and in poor health, he would go broke if he lived in America and not Europe.



I mean, you can pay for amazing healthcare for yourself for 800 a month (10k a year) or a family (15k a year) in the US. And if you work for a big company they cover ablot of this. It's pretty easy to calculate in salaries, and doesn't bridge the gap between countries.


I'm not sure those "amazing healthcare" numbers are correct...


Not in tech. The difference it tech salary is bigger than for other fields. It's unusually low in France, and usually big in the US.
