      As a note, a lot of european countries quote their salaries post-tax. When I was browsing around and saw their engineering positions being paid half or less than an American equivalent I was a bit thrown off for a moment till I factored that in.

          Yeah I think that as an engineer, you still can get paid better in the US at the end of the day (everything depends, of course), but once I re-ran some numbers, it made more sense. I could also be wrong, but I figured someone would jump in and correct me.
