I found Germany absolutely dogshit for innovation in IT when I lived and worked there. It took the pandemic to move the needle even slightly on digitalisation of government services, and even then. As for salaries: the salaries in tech in Germany aren't particularly competitive compared to Ireland, America, the UK, etc. As for healthcare: its not free (its mandatory insurance), and the quality/speed of care is often worse than the NHS in my experience, however, I will grant them that they have some fantastic experts available at hospitals like the Charité in Berlin.
