Top end of the market here for skilled C++ developers is more like €100-120k. So it's possible to earn a lot more 60k than but you won't do it building CRUD apps for a poorly funded copycat startup.

SoundCloud had plenty of engineers on €90k+. HERE Maps also pays very well. Even a lot of the startups are openly offering ~€80k on StackOverflow and AngelList for genuinely skilled Ruby/JS developers and you can always negotiate a little higher.

AFAIK only one company pays 100K-120K in Berlin, doing some Excel plugins in C++, but they have very alarming reviews on Glassdoor.

CoreOS pay in a similar range for systems development in Go. Still cheaper than paying their SF based employees!
