I recently did a salary comparison between EU and Europe regarding the salary for Data Engineers, this time I want to see in which countries you can generally expect a good salary.

Now it might be interesting to know in which countries you can generally earn good money as a Data Engineer. Maybe you are also looking for a job and maybe you are ready for a little time abroad. Of course, it’s important to say that it’s not just about salary but also about exciting projects, experience, co-workers and work-life-balance, however salary is an important factor.

1. United States: Over $100.000
2. Germany: Up to $90.000
3. Australia: Also about $90.000
