Lots of people do not need to earn the global maximum, but merely enough to live at a certain comfort level, and in a place they want to live.
No amount of money saves you from dealing with many of the consequences of bad urbanism in most of the US for example.
But also if you earn 3x the median in your country you tend to be able to live comfortably, even if that number is low compared… well compared to the US basically.
- Aeolun 4y ago€22k is the median in Germany? I feel like that’s a few thousand euros more than minimum wage?
- rtpg 4y agoSorry, I was talking about in general. Eyeballing things from this article and [0], it seems like devs are maybe taking in 10k Euros over the median salary in Germany. Feels like it would be hard to describe this as big bucks! Opportunity costs etc. But I do think it's important to qualify this with the idea that you're still earning a good amount of money relative to other people living in the country so you're probably going to be OK (especially if you don't have super high ambitions requiring money).
