For a full comparison, remember that US has both state and federal taxes, and that education, health, retirement and employment insurance are separate expenses that you need to account for over your life time (not just in your twenties when you are young and healthy and your parents have provided for you so far in life).

Comment Re:Don't do everything the developer don't like (Score 1) 146

I've seen all too often in my career introduction of good new processes fail because noone is there to champion them. As a manager of an established embedded development team that is still working "the old way", I accept that I'm going to have to 'do everything for the developers' until I get their buy in. The alternative of forcing new processes on developers before they've seen the value themselves just causes them to grudgingly follow the letter of the process with the intention of making it fail. If the processes you are introducing bring real value, then the developers will slowly see this and embrace them. If the processes don't bring value, then suddenly realising 3 months later that you've increased your own workload with no benefit is the best filter. I've successfully introduced my team to 100% coverage code review this way, and am working on unit testing now.
