Who knows what's next. Cheaper Tesla vehicles, more US technology, less regulation around the EU, and so on. This whole "chemical-washed" paranoia is just propaganda from EU farmers, and EU protectionism. I for one welcome cheaper products, so at least people who barely afford food would at least have an option. Certainly if standards of living are so high around the EU no one would buy such products anyway, right?

Not really. Devs in the uk earn far more than most of these jobs you mentioned. Perhaps you are working with the wrong company.

Not sure, what western european countries pays as much for a tech job as for any other desk job? Also i dont think it has something to do with skills, more like with criminals creating virii and thus developing and understanding of how security works.

Touche, 6.333. Still a low number of applicants per seat.

Less than 4 applicants per seat. Pretty low.

I know at least a few apps that show little to no downloads on App Annie and Sensor Tower, yet their authors drive lambos. I wouldn't trust these two. Funny how office workers pop their heads up to point out the failure of someone who built something.

Romanian here - can confirm your statement is accurate. The person in charge of Romania's GDPR enforcement agency is politically nominated by Romania's leading party - the party which made corruption semi legal. She is under investigation by Romania's Anti Corruption Directorate for illegal land restitution, and is reported to have made anti EU and anti US statements. She also threatened an enormous fine, using the GDPR regulation, for those who exposed the illegal activity of Romania's former defacto leader, imprisoned 4 months ago.

So yeah, this case raises eyebrows, given most foreign banks in Romania are proteges of corrupt politicians and the GDPR agency is lead by members of an infamously corrupt party. Perhaps this bank did something right, to actually get the fine.
