Salaries by Country
Even though relocation planning involves numerous factors, salary remains the top consideration, especially when moving abroad for a job. Naturally, people want to move to a country where they can make more than where they are or at least where they will have an opportunity to grow financially over time. Also, many of you—those willing to relocate—would probably want to benchmark your current salaries to see if you make the average in your target destination(s). That's why we've collected the Average Salary by Country guide, so you only need to choose your destination country to get all the essential info.
