COMPARED TO THE WORLDWIDE SAMPLE, THE
SUBSAMPLE FROM EUROPE TENDED TO COME FROM
SMALLER COMPANIES. While 45% of US respondents were
from companies with over 2,500 employees, only 35% of
European respondents were from such companies. This number
rises to 39% if we consider only those from Western Europe;
only 13% of respondents from Central/Eastern Europe were
from large companies.
Largely because of the East-West split, salaries at larger companies
tend to be high: the 19% of respondents from companies
with over 10,000 employees had a median salary of €61K.
In contrast, the half of the sample that was from companies
with 2 to 500 employees had a median salary of €43K.
