The 15 countries where developers get paid the most in Europe

Europe's technology industry is gaining momentum and companies of all shapes and sizes are hiring developers across the continent, according to a report from venture capital firm Balderton Capital.

The London-based technology investor released a report on Monday outlining where Europe's tech talent is, who they are, and what they're earning.

Expensive Nordic countries like Sweden and Norway appear high on the list but developers can also command high salaries in countries like Ireland and the UK.

Using data provided by Stack Overflow, an online community for programmers, Balderton found that salaries range from $22,549 (£17,674) at the bottom end right up to $90,524 (£70,958) at the top, meaning it's possible for developers to earn almost four times as much in some European countries as they can in others.
