I'm a C++ SWE at an OMM in the US thinking about moving to Europe (probably London, Amsterdam, or Zurich) in a few years. Judging by levels.fyi, I'll take a real pay cut here. In the case of an internal transfer, can I expect to keep my current compensation? What if I applied to other firms?

I really have no idea how these conversations look in other offices, and if they are at all similar to the US (bidding wars, headhunters, etc). Thanks.
