I agree that lowend salaries are comparable but presumably people working on a startup are earning anything but lowend.
The social benefits are only worthwhile when you are older (you should have done it the other way around :) ) and you are reminded of the administrative difficulties half the time you use them.
Mid-range food may be less expensive here but service is just terrible (well, not 100% of the time but it happens often enough to be really annoying).
I thought the AZERTY and QWERTY layouts were about the same if you touchtype. There should be a software option to switch it.
French salaries are much lower and taxes are extremely high for high income earners. There's more than one tax on your income! There's the regular "impôt" but also the "contribution solidarité" which is legally considered "not a tax" but cost you a percentage of your income. And a "taxe d'habitation" too (which is proportional to your rent rather than income). There's quite a bit of misrepresentation and wordplay all over, so be careful if you are used to different social norms.
Having said that, the longer vacations are indeed true but that's the case for other European countries too.
I don't see how making one administrative task a bit easier (while all others can be extremely difficult) is going attract talent, except through the usual misrepresentation.
