You can often reach 90-100k as a senior dev (the real ones with +8y xp.) in major german cities with good negotiation skills at top tier companies. Senior devs can usually pick any company they want. The story is on the other side completely reverted for junior devs. Low pay (50-60k) and low demand. I've hired some junior devs in the past years and it usually shows why you pay a senior almost the double.
