If you want senior developer that will work as an architect, team lead, product manager etc.
(S)He better make 400k per year or more.
We have nearly zero rotation within senior staff, and some actually came back from other companies, sometimes due to pure frustration with how little impact they had on what's happening within the project. Simply most of the team considers it the way it should work, not additional chore.
About 400k (USD I assume) - where I live you could easily get really nice house with that in less than a year, with zero mortgage and without limiting your daily spending too much.
I'm happy for you if you have ability to earn that, but with such expectations and altitude - no wonder US corps are so eager to outsource to our side of the pond :-)
That's not the way to think about it when looking at leveraged assets. A house where you live.

Are they? Last time I looked there was a lot of Europeans looking to move to America, but the reverse was exceedingly rare.
We have some PMs/POs in order to cover communications with customer - there's legal part to manage, market research, and there are difficult customers, which unusual reporting needs that have nothing to do with technology, so everyone is happy to leave it to them.
