    As a tech worker in Europe, the concept of “deserving” or “not deserving” a specific number has always been a total joke. Your salary is like 80% determined by location alone.

    Any notion of “merit” (whatever that even means, there isn’t even a good way of measuring it in many industries) has always been only very loosely correlated with compensation.

    So if you can get it, go get it.
