The range for #3 is almost entirely missing from most public salary data. A site that is better at capturing all three tiers is the one I'm building:. You'll find little to no compensation data on this third pillar on likes of Glassdoor, Payscale, Honeypot, Talent.io, Stack Overflow Jobs and other public job or salary portals. Which category does your workplace belong to? Most engineers are not aware of this third, Big Tech pillar and the compensation ranges it introduces, assuming compensation can not go beyond what is offered at the second pillar: There is no longer an "average" salary for software engineers in Europe / the Netherlands: just an average salary per one of the three, distinct categories. I'm seeing the software engineering compensation market becoming trimodal - split into three distinct groups that "spike" and that have little overlaps. Where is the disconnect? Tiers of Companies It's not just Uber: senior total packages have gone up by 50% from around €100,000 in 2016 to €150,000+, as part of the EU salary research I've been running (I'll share the survey reports in-detail in later blog posts - subscribe here to not miss it). Meanwhile, I've observed the average senior total compensation figures at Uber nearly double from €110,000 in 2015 to €170,000-€230,000/year by 2020. The 2021 Talent.io salary report puts the most experienced software engineering salaries in Amsterdam at €60,000/year. The 2019 Honeypot Amsterdam developer survey says, "the most experienced developers earn an average of €55,000 high as over €70,000". Interesting enough, many engineers did not notice any meaningful salary changes these years. The market - and compensation - for software engineers have moved upwards at an incredible pace over during this time. I've been a hiring manager at Uber, in Amsterdam, for over 4 years. ( Watch this article as video narrated by me, with additional context) Also see for data recorded for a growing number of countries in the three tiers. Update: dozens of hiring managers confirmed this trimodal model applies to all global markets: from the US, through Asia to Latin America as well.
