And a 80k$ salary in France amounts to around 125k$ cost for the employer.
So 170k$ isn't that much - I actually know French developers and network engineers that make similar money.
The French ITsec architect I interviewed last year would have cost me (converted) around 150k$.So 170k$ is absolutely not out of the normal range here.
Talking about France: The French government could start to properly support matrix.org as they use it for tChap. The same goes for Germany with the "Behördenmessenger"
So 170k$ isn’t that much
If that's the amount the company pays, then yea. If this is the amount the employee receives, then that's a lot. Like really.

You can't just look at the exchange rate. You have to look at cost and standard of living.
Someone in the US making 100k is not doing as well as someone in France making 70k€
Then at this point I start to wonder: why can't they take people in countries where the cost of living is cheaper? When you're funded by donations, this seems more logical
I feel like companies based in the USA and accepting donations make it so that donations from countries outside USA are a lot less meaningfull because we get less money, and they need to spend more.

As we are looking at the company expenditures here, it's the former.

You've basically just reinvented off shoring.
CEO don't just run company. Their job is also to determine strategy and work relationships to improve sales/donations. They should be hired wherever they can do that best.

Indeed, but it's understandably a super high amount compared to what we get. If you're in good shape, you get way more money. If not, you probably get (a lot) less.
Good shape? I think something got lost in translation.

Right. For perspective, I once paid $200 for a single Xray (needed 3, total $600, not counting the doctors bill). And that's with health insurance.
If you have to go to urgent care, expect to pay close to $1000 for simple needs, much higher than that for more complex needs. An ambulance ride can cost upwards of $5000, and an airlift is several times that.
So better not be too much into sports, or trauma will drain your bank account.
Then you add the complete absence of consumers rights and little to no oversight on industrial activity. Lead and PFA poisoned water, food additives that are banned in most of the developed world, sugar in everything,... It's near impossible not to get sick here.

Why would it display the priced paid by the company like this, when it doesn't for other countries like France though? Seems weird
Unless USA companies don't pay taxes when paying a salary? But I don't really believe that

Nah, my bad, the later. Sorry

There's something that kinda helps with the migration: https://ems.element.io/tools/matrix-migration
It's nice that this exists, but even for this I'd prefer to use an open source tool.
And it of course helps with migration only if the old HS is still online..
I think most practically this migration function would be built inside some Matrix client (one that would support more than one server to start with), but I suppose a standalone tool would be a decent solution as well.
