These threads always make me sad. Even an entry-level position in the US makes more money than I do. There doesn't seem to be much competition here. I do get a lot of recruiting emails but most of them just ignore me after I mention my current salary. Granted, I am very fortunate to make 100000€ a year (mostly stock so varies a lot)

Working remotely for a US company would be one option but there is a massive time zone difference. Also, the recruiting messages from US companies (e.g. Turing) seemed to treat Europeans as cheap labor who are not entitled to stock grants.
