Do you have any data the counters what I’m saying? I know people in other countries don’t make the same salaries but they are “mostly” doing pretty well for their region

here's some job postings for software engineer in Bordeaux, France: https://www.indeed.fr/Bordeaux-(33)-Emplois-Ingenieur-Inform...

It's around three times less.


How does it compare to the local economy?

Prove me wrong is bad argumentation.

>I know people in other countries don’t make the same salaries but they are “mostly” doing pretty well for their region.

The burden of proof is on the person making the claim. Do you have any data to backup your claim?


I gave some proof and I’m speaking from experience. I grant that my perspective my be biased so if there is any data to the contrary then I would love to be enlightened. My goal isn’t to point out if someone is wrong for the sake of it, I hope to teach, learn or both. This was such a shocking revelation to me that I was hoping for some data.
