> true costs to the employer is typically double the perceived salary.
This is true, but my comment was an offhanded way to say that my "salary" (as in, the one on my contracts and the one I "see") is less than a month of Datadog for our number of hosts.
As for the rest of your comment, I wish it was true.
Developer salaries outside of the capitals is quite low in Europe, and even inside the capitals only go to "near double"
So, instead of 12x it becomes 6x developer costs per annum, which is a fair whack of money.
For me to justify spending "3-6" peoples worth of money it had better save "3-6" peoples worth of time.
