No country is worse than Germany for software developers. Even the guy from India in this thread earns 2-3x more than usual senior salary in Germany, but expenses are 10x higher here. I really hate this country.

- _petronius 8y agoDon't get too wowed by lots of zeroes without context. When I moved from London to Berlin, my salary barely changed on paper (45k GBP to 47k EUR), but my quality of life went way up and cost of living way down. The best thing these salary comparisons are for are with reference to the same country/city; otherwise you have to account for thinks like healthcare costs, differences in rent, expected working hours, holiday time, etc etc. I seriously doubt that 100k USD in the Bay Area is significantly better than 50-60k in Berlin.
- sumedh 8y ago> Even the guy from India in this thread earns 2-3x more than usual senior salary To be fair that guy is like the 1% of IT in India, majority of Indians working in IT (most of them in IT outsourcing companies) dont make high salaries.
- BigJono 8y agoFrom one of the other comments it sounds like the UK is much worse.
