Does anybody know how to properly translate $ wages to € wages.

If one looks at the average wages here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_average_wage

we have
US:
$ 60k
Germany
$ 45k or roughly € 42k

any of course living price is very different (higher in the US)

But this still doesn't reflect differences in well-paying jobs. If you look at glassdoor and e.g. the highest paying senior jobs at Google
in the US they make
155.000$
and in Europe about
110.000€
a year (8000€ a month)

The average PhD + 3 years salary in Europe will be under 65000€, which isn't that high in the US.
AND then the income taxes in Germans pay 40%!? Doesn't seem to add up, even with the higher living cost in the US.

What's going on here?

I'm French and am starting a job at a US tech company with an office in my city.
It's well paid in terms of salary, but then there is also the bonus thing - those kind that are related to shares. I get some with the contract.

Can someone explain this properly?

It's a young company and the HR woman said she herself couldn't even judge properly how much money these bonuses would really mean.

And then there is the thing of "selling it on the market".

Europe just has lower salaries I guess. The US has bigger GPP per capita than any of the big European countries, only a few small ones (including Switzerland, Ireland, Norway) have it better than the US.

educated professionals are rarer in the US because we have to come out of pocket for college. hence they command a higher wage than freebie degree euro's.
