That's interesting. When I was looking in Europe a few years ago, the pay in Germany for IT tended to be much worse than the USA. I assume QoL and benefits make up for a lot of the gap, but Germany (and Austria, maybe its a Germanic thing?) still seemed noticeably low compared to elsewhere.

Compared to the US the pay may be worse, but compared to the median salary, even entry-level IT jobs pay good.

The median income is about 44k (last year), my first job ever paid 57k fresh out of university (about 5 years ago). It may be less than other countries, but I never had to think about money and even did my own thing for a year, living entirely off my savings. I could comfortable do this after just 3 years of work.

So, yeah, compared to your average German, working in IT, you're rich.
