Yes, you can make $100k+ as a software engineer working remotely from Europe.
In fact, you can make much more: $200k, $300k, even up to $500k-$600k.
Of course, hitting the higher end of this range isn’t easy, but six-figure remote salaries are absolutely possible.
What do I mean by “fully remote”?
❌ Not just working from high-paying cities like Zurich or London
👉 I mean having the flexibility to live anywhere in Europe while working for top-paying companies.
That includes Spain, Greece, Eastern Europe, Turkey, and many other countries.
With the right setup, you can optimize for:
✅ Lower cost of living
✅ A high-quality lifestyle
How do you get a six-figure remote job?
1️⃣ Find the right companies
- Most of these roles come from American startups: usually fast-growing companies with $10M-$100M in funding.
- Some European companies offer similar setups, but US startups tend to pay more.
- If you’re a contractor, even European Fortune 500 companies can pay well ($150k-$200k range).
2️⃣ Be a top-tier developer
- These companies hire remotely to attract top talent without paying SF/NYC salaries.
- You don’t need to be an ex-FAANG engineer, but you should have skills that could land you a role at Google or Facebook.
3️⃣ Pass the interviews
- Expect a few big tech-style interviews (LeetCode, system design, domain-specific questions).
- Some companies also test real-world skills with take-home projects, debugging sessions, or live coding on real tickets.
4️⃣ Apply with referrals
- These startups don’t have massive HR teams filtering thousands of applications.
- They prioritize candidates from their network, so strong online networking is crucial.
What’s the end result?
💰 Six-figure salary while living wherever you want.
❤️ Freedom to optimize for lifestyle, cost of living, and taxes.
🌴 A job with flexibility, without being tied to high-cost cities.
