A typical software engineer in Germany earns about €60-80k.

More than enough to save money for retirement, travel the world enjoying 30 days vacations, own a cars, buy enough hardware, fancy house,....

After a certain value is for show off only, or maybe lit cigars with burning notes.

And 6 weeks off, unlimited sick days, and a generous notice period. Health insurance and unemployment insurance are a given. There's no explaining how much more relaxed work culture is in Germany.

Is life better in every respect? No. But there's a lot more to life than earning potential.

I like my job even more when it's a smaller part of my life
