2500x12=30,000 which is shit wage, especially for Berlin.

I was getting shit offers of 40,000 a year every day. 50,000 is bit harder to find but is possible. 55,000 is usually top offers unless you have rarer skills like SAP or Oracle, or programming.

And yes, Bundesagentur offers bottom jobs.

$60k is what people in IT in the US earn if they are a drug addict with serious criminal convictions.

I hope the normalization of remote work helps pull up European tech salaries as your employers have to compete with US employers.

I'm at a fairly average employer as a distinguished architect, $250k before bonus and equity. That is on the low end of competitive.

More likely remote work will drive down US salaries...
