Is the salary level in Europe remotely the same as in the office?

Question

Distant work

As you know, in Europe, programmers are paid an order of magnitude more.
Is it possible to get a remote job for the same money, or is it paid much less for remote work?

Answer 1

In Europe, and in all other parts of the planet, you pay what you are worth.

Answer 2

Payment for work in any format is based on the fact that everything else in the capitalist world is the intersection point of supply and demand curves for a product (in this case, these are development services).
The level of payment in Europe is different, in some countries it is higher than in the Russian Federation and other countries of Eastern Europe that were once part of the USSR, and in some it is the same and lower ( Portugal , Spain and others, for example, do not have high salaries).
Again, you need to evaluate the salary taking into account expenses, which are very different in different locations .
Another point, a remote worker from somewhere is not the same as an employee who lives near the client and works remotely. The difference is in the status of registration (taxes, residency), and in the mentality (language, understanding of the rules of work adopted by the employer, communication, etc.), and in numerous other points that complicate or facilitate working with a remote worker (ease of transferring money, the client's local laws, which often incentivize hiring a local worker).
So, in terms of the level of possible income, you need to rely on statistics (takes into account real supply and demand), expenses and the willingness of the employer to hire a stranger (again, demand due to local laws). Some links to existing statistics can be found in my post .
Put yourself in the place of the employer in order to understand at what salary it would be profitable for him to hire you.
