E.g. in Germany the side costs are much higher then in the US. E.g. the cost of paying 80k€ salary is much more then 80k€ for the company.

But in the end the main reason is SV/FAANG.



All these costs are capped and not that important for higher salaries. Health insurance is only paid for the first 58k. The state pension, unemployment insurance etc do not increase for salaries over 85k.

I would expect a good benefits package in the US to be more expensive for the employer than the mandatory costs for German insurances.
