With more Silicon Valley firms opening up in Europe, Berlin especially, I have heard that it's causing salaries for all engineers to be pushed hire as these new entrants start paying bonkers numbers.

Apparently when Tesla opened in Berlin they were paying such high salaries that local companies got upset. I think it's come down some but why? It should go higher.

just saw an offer in Berlin for 150 base and 320k RSUs coming out to €230k annualized TC!!

levels.fyi is pretty useless (too few data points) for many international locations.

For example, at point of writing there are exactly 12 salaries listed for HelloFresh in Berlin.

It looks like VMWare is paying low in Austin based on levels.fyi, did you get around that somehow?
