Local-currency tables below are what employers quote; the USD sort is only for cross-border orientation. Tax, public healthcare, and hours differ enough that a higher USD median is not automatically a better life. Outlook for the occupation is sketched at +6% over ten years — not country-specific hiring.
After Norway, Netherlands is next on the USD ranking at about $98,676. Related technology titles include Software Engineer, Frontend Developer, Backend Developer, Data Scientist, and Machine Learning Engineer. Pick a country page next for city bands; pick a city salary page when you have a metro.
Do not rank countries by cash alone for immigration decisions — licensing and visas are independent of this table. Use each country’s salary calculator assumptions separately; a single global “take-home” does not exist.
How to compare IT Support Specialist pay across countries
Convert only for shortlisting, then switch back to local currency for offers. A remote employer paying “US median” while you live elsewhere is a different problem from relocating into Norway.
Skills commonly listed: Troubleshooting, Windows, Networking, Ticketing, and Support. Requirements still change by country and seniority.
