> This seems like a week of pay for a pretty good software dev.

Wait, 6500 * 4 * 12 = 312,000/yr

Might be a bit high for a week :P

EDIT: Okay turns out that if you live in the Bay area this isn't unheard of - the rest of us make 4x to 5x less then that (Saying this as a mid-level software dev from West Michigan).

Salary information on HN is skewed by Bay area engineers where $312k is not out of the realm of possibility for a senior developer afaik.

In Germany you will be VERY lucky making 100,000 euro / year. Germany has the lowest

software dev. salary / average country salary

ratio of all countries on planet.

Unless you are doing anything more or less related to SAP. Then you can make $150k/a easily.

If only other companies would realize that that's one of the reasons why SAP is Germany's no. 1 software company.

That matches up with the mid to senior range you'll see for FAANG at https://www.levels.fyi/

60-75k is on the low side for a qualified dev, even in Michigan.
