In Brazil, discussing salary is often less direct than in the USA. While 'salário generoso' is understood, Brazilians may use euphemisms like 'salário atrativo' (attractive salary) in professional settings. In the US, 'generous salary' is commonly used in job postings and negotiations as a straightforward indicator of compensation quality.
