Euro Top Tech Jobs - Week 6
Latest updates on the best open positions for SWEs in Europe right now
NOTE:
I am planning some significant iterations/improvements on both the Job Board and its weekly Analytics Update.
I would like to add columns for a) Estimated Gross Total Compensation and b) Estimated Total Compensation After Taxes.
As high-paying fully-remote jobs become more attractive, I have been collecting some company names of companies that hire fully-remotely and pay 6 figures salaries. I plan to integrate the job board with these jobs too. In today’s edition, you’ll have the first company name shared here for free. Stick until the end of the article to check it out!
Hi folks,
As you might know already, I launched this job board containing top-paying dev jobs in Europe, weekly updated and sent to The European Engineer paid subscribers (5 eur/month or 50 eur/year).
I am now sending every subscribers (also the free ones) a weekly update regarding some insights and analytics based on this board.
If you find this useless or annoying, please let me know and I will think about how to send it only to those who are interested in it.
You can check last week’s analytics here.

Analytics diff with last week. What changed?
Total number of listings:
Went up by 127, from 4107 to 4234.
A lot of new openings for senior folks! And more Elastic positions opened (138 additional openings bring it up to 280 total openings!)
One thing to note: I think some companies that are hiring kind of remotely (at least multinationally) sometimes have the same position advertised in different locations, so their number could look a bit bigger than it actually is in reality. I think Elastic and Datadog fit this category. But still, I guess if they’re open to hiring the same position in different location maybe we can still consider all these positions valid (it could also be that they want to hire more than one person for that role).
Number of job listings by seniority (change/diff from last week):

This Week’s High-Paying Remote
UAE Company. I don’t know the exact rates they pay, but I think it’s high and I know ex-FAANG from Western Europe who joined this company recently.
I’m not exactly sure how “remote”/flexible it is, but having a high-paying job in the UAE allows you cut out all taxes, and have a cost of living still smaller than most major Western Europe tech capitals such as London or Zurich.
PS: If you haven’t already, make sure to checkout for free Euro Tech Money to see some crowdsourced data on engineers’ pay and saving rates in Europe.
It’s pretty cool! And we already have more than 500 data points.

The community will appreciate if you do so :)
The Future of My Coaching Program
ALERT: Currently sold out, but you can register in the waiting list to get preferential access once new spots become available. To enter the waiting list, the process is the same as applying to enter the program (check here for the requirements).
For the next iteration, I am thinking of doing this:
Have an offline resource (maybe a course) where I go over some of the topics that I usually address during the coaching calls.
Have the coaching program for people who want results in a timely manner and have the skills, time and resources to actually achieve the set goals.
Have the possibility for people who have bought the course to book paid Q&A sessions with me to get more personalised advice.
What do you think?
The goal would be to make my services more accessible and cheaper to people, and only leave the coaching option for the ones who would get the most value out of it (translated in significant result like getting a much better job etc).
