  > paying like €50k for a senior position (5+ years experience) It depends on the location. That's probably about right for Berlin, but would be ridiculously low in Frankfurt/Munich/Hamburg/Köln. If you want a better idea of salary ranges, check the expat forum Toytown Germany. [0] It also depends on the company and your negotiating skills. I've had job offers in the low €50k from companies in Berlin for a normal position. > Ignoring currency conversion Why would you ignore the currency difference? The Euro buys you a lot more than the Canadian dollar does, even factoring in higher VAT in Europe. I also find the cost of living is lower in Germany than in Canada. Food is certainly much cheaper, and my general impression is that housing is also cheaper (to rent). €50k = $72k CAD You probably won't make this as a junior developer in Canada, and if you do, it's probably somewhere like Vancouver or Toronto where the cost of living is very high.
