The cost of living here in Berlin is quite low too. You may have to pay a bit more taxes, but with programmers salary you live like a king (and may have a bit happier life than a king). The salary range is somewhere between 40k-70k euros/year. I started working here in a startup and I moved from Helsinki. It was a bit hard to get the job because I didn't know anyone and any companies. It took around six months to find a great job and I had to do everything to prove my enthusiasm and skills for the employers. I love what I do and I'm a smart programmer but when nobody knows you, be prepared to make some extra work to convince your employers.
