Salary can't and shouldn't be compared accross the globe.
Being paid 170k€ in san francisco is maybe the "normal" but few company can afford it in europe or just about anywhere else. And salary is missleading because way of life is way more expensive there.
For me the claim is right, there is not enough engineers and they are all going abroad aka there is a shortage.
From my perspective (paris, france) even if you would pay engineers double from now on to match US salary, there will still be a shortage for the next 10years at least.
