The average US developer salary is about $110k so you're probably better off making €65k so they're not really much better off. If you have a family it's almost certainly a worse deal in the USA.

There are also places in Germany offering 2-3x that €65k in total comp for comparable roles as you see for the high salaries in the USA. Amazon Berlin, Google Munich etc.

Plenty of early stage companies openly advertise €75-80k base in Berlin on AngelList so that's a pretty low offer for somewhere like Amazon! My total comp at Airbnb Berlin was approx double that €65k quoted. An ex-colleague makes more than that at Amazon Berlin but at a higher level.
