Twice the salary for twice the work load isn’t more money.
I had a friend who got a NY white shoe law job. He was earning $250k walking in the door. But he slept under his desk pulling 100 hour work weeks and was always terrified of being let go for underperforming.
That’s not a better salary. That’s just 2.5 jobs earning $80k (which you can easily get with a JD pretty much anywhere).
Once he realized that, he quit and landed a job with normal hours earning twice as much per hour worked.
Twice the salary for twice the work load isn’t more money.
Having worked in American and European software development, definitely not twice the workload. Its basically the same, and when I worked in manufacturing it was far higher of a workload than in the US.
