If you do it for the money, ignore German startups. The chance for an exit is 1% and usually employees don't get equity. The pay is low and you're forced to burn out. You will not work for the next Facebook, Twitter etc.
Instead join Siemens, Allianz or other blue chip companies to easily earn 60-90k with all benefits you can imagine.
Berlin is even more desperate as most of the German "tech" scene is. No money, no users, bad execution except the successful copycat-business of the Samwer brothers.
- zerr 13y agoInteresting. Regarding burning out - I thought the overtime work was banned in Germany, no? (Quite recently actually, if I remember correctly). Yes, I'm aware about non-existent exits, but I was hoping for more like a revenue sharing or similar agreement. For a C++/systems/desktop engineer (no web), do you think other cities in Germany would be more suitable than Berlin?
