Since we are at it: What would be 'average'?
The 66th percentile for a "competent" new hire (meaning a certain
company pays a base salary that matches or exceeds 66% of other US
companies for the same kind of work) is about one and a half times that.
Many of these companies will also pay employees with some kind of stock
award/option.
US tax comes in at about 20% of total salary.
Sweden is a country with high taxes, but are the tax rates really directly
comparable? I guess health insurance is one issue? (Or maybe the company
usually pays for a health plan, as well as a pension plan?)
The likely downside if you're coming from abroad is that you'll go from
being a two income household to a one income household. Of course, if
your better half can also organize a company to sponsor them through the
visa process, you're laughing...
Anybody interested still? I can put names forward...
I have alarm bells ringing in my head... where did you say you work? ;-)
