"On Friday night, Lorenzo, 35, was on a train heading to work a nightshift for a major American sales website's Berlin branch." This part of the article is pretty useless, it doesn't actually tell us what his job is. It sounds like it's not related to his qualifications as a historian/photographer (whatever they are, again there are no details), in which case you would expect his pay to be lower than if he had relevant skills. On the other hand, if it's a white-collar job, he's working nights regularly, and only getting the $50,000 salary, this would be low pay.
