On: With Station F, Paris will have the world’s bigges...

For senior developers in Paris the median may be around 50-60, (most of software engineer jobs are in consultancies) but there are tech companies that pay up to twice as much . I know mine does, and is looking for developers from all around the world, if you're interested :)

Obviously. You are at Criteo?

I don't think it's fair to say "there are" when "there IS" only a single company that pays this kind of money in Paris.

[abolibibelot → user5994461]

Got me. That being said there's been quite a lot of funding happening in Paris lately, and there are a few French companies (some of them startups) which are starting to match Criteo's compensations.

Murex, eFront, Theodo, Smart AdServer, SAP, Streamroot, Klee Group …

Basically all the companies I know someone in pays this kind of salary to people with 3 to 5 years of experience ! Are we really living in the same city ?

Let's just clarify.

I was referring to the "twice as much" in "around 50-60 [...] but there are tech companies that pay up to twice as much "

Are you saying that these companies pay 50-60k€ or 100-120k€ for people with 3-5 years experience?

[stymaar → user5994461]

Oh, I misunderstood your statement. These companies pay 50-60k€ for people with 3-5 years experience.

Right. Now you hopefully see the difference between what they would like to pay and what they will have pay [to bring back top French talent from abroad] ;)
