10% is a gross exaggeration but "the average ratio would be closer to 2-3x" sounds equally exaggerated in the other direction.


The median US gross salary for US software developers is $108k. I imagine that's $60k net or less.

The median Romanian net salary for software developers is RON 7000 per month. That's about €1400 or $1600 per month, so $19.2K, net. 3x.

You were saying?


3x != 2x, and I suspect 3x is still too low; also comparing median salaries is not enough.

To which you replied:

My original example pointed to the top of the range and then I used the median, which is the statistically most relevant indicator for comparing salaries.

> 3x != 2x, and I suspect 3x is still too low; also comparing median salaries is not enough.

At this point, you're arguing in bad faith.
