These numbers are far off reality.

80k€+ isn't a high salary for job in a Tarifunternehmen if you stay with it for 5+ years.

Many of my colleagues cracked 100k€ this year without being AT and having crazy high position ratings.

Let me guess: They are working in one of the IGM-connected companies?

And for each of those guys there's 2 people working for 48k and happy about it. They've been at the same shop for 15 years, in a team of the only 3 people doing software in the entire company. Probably somewhere a bit rural, and/or north of Frankfurt.

IGM is not the default.
