Amazon pays a lot more here in Berlin. People in Germany forget to add stocks to the total compensation. Source: https://www.levels.fyi/company/Amazon/salaries/Software-Engi...

Otherwise, in Berlin there are other bigger tech companies and with remote opening up more and more the salaries tend to increase. Currently the biggest companies in Berlin when it comes to compensation: Microsoft, GitHub, Airbnb, SAP, Wayfair, Amazon, Datadog (Remote), Snowflake, Shopify (Remote), Hubspot (Remote), Spotify (Remote), DigitalOcean (Remote), MongoDB, Stripe (Remote). I wrote an article about it here: https://www.kevinpeters.net/top-tech-companies-berlin-2021

Most of these companies offer more close to 90-100k or even more (depends on the stock). So it is not FAANG but it gets better and better throughout the years.

Thanks for your perspective! I had no idea the stock compensation was THAT high. Sheesh I might want to reconsider my current situation!

Btw, I should probably not post this but we share the exact same name and work in the same field. :D
