Come to Dublin. Where I work, we'd love to hire more experienced people. I'd say around 15% of my colleagues are >40, with 3 or 4 > 50.

I don't think it is at all unusual to get paid significantly more than €40k..

It's neither in Germany. I have no idea where op gets their information. Sure, compared to the US pay in Germany is lower, but 40k is not even remotely on the high end for a developer.

I meant developing EU countries, in developed ones it's more like 60-80k USD, but only in those with healthy economies like DE, NL, IE, etc.

There is one major thing which turns me down about Ireland - I'd have to rent a place to live.
