What are you even referring to?
Salaries in many European countries are perfectly fine when compared to the costs of living etc.
Inflated salaries with inflated prices for everything else aren‘t just better because the number is higher ^^
There's more to it than just "inflated salaries with inflated prices".
I took a 70% pay cut moving from Silicon Valley back to Europe. Sure, my monthly expenses were also about 70% less, and I was able to save roughly the same relative proportion of money.
The main difference is that, in absolute terms, what I was saving in the US before I moved amounted to more than what I was taking home after tax in Europe, let alone saving. That buying power went much farther (for a variety of reasons). Whether it was electronics, trips, a new car, etc, I could afford way more luxury there, with much less impact to my bottom line.
I have no regrets. My perceived quality of life is much better now.
I've been using Dato for years for private projects (would love a Hobby tier ;) ) and have been impressed with it from the start.
Hearing that Dato and the people behind it are thriving makes me very happy!
A success that's well deserved! :-D
Same here. Been with them since the beginning (or what felt like the beginning) and have always been impressed with their constant drive to get out new features and make sure their core stuff is still rock solid.
Feels good knowing they are continuing to do well, gives me hope that there's more on the horizon for them. So many companies with great ideas never seem to make it far, or burn out fast, so seeing them navigate the space there in is really inspiring.
