When I look at descriptions about the living costs/housing prices in SF and its environment, I think that with, say, EUR 40k one has a better life in Germany (except the really expensive metropolitan areas in Germany as Munich, Stuttgart etc.) than with US$ 100k somewhere around SF.
Right, but if a senior at amagoowhatever is making 350k usd, and a senior in Berlin/münchen is making 70k usd, it's a very, very different conversation. I meant literally five times as much, not a figure of speech...
München is very expensive - if you don't earn a lot of money when living there it is not worth taking the job. On the other hand in Berlin it is much simpler to live cheaply (though the prices for apartments in Berlin have skyrocketed in the last years).
