       How are salaries for senior devs in Berlin at the moment?
        
       Thinking of moving to Berlin for access to a market with better
       opportunities for software developers.  Background is 5+ years
       experience in enterprise development roles, docker/K8S/cloud
       experience included. EU citizen so visa not a problem, also speak
       German.  What are salaries like at the moment and is it still a
       good option for developers?

       | However if you're willing to do contracting you can make a lot
       | more - there are plenty of full-time, long-term gigs with rates
       | of 80-110/hour.

       | You're looking at 80k+ easily, so that's atleast around 4200 or
       | 4300 netto a month which you'll be comfortable with. And yes the
       | market is really hot right now!

         | Edit: NVM, netto - got it - it's allright.

         | that sounds about right. but if you're not married, you're more
         | likely to get to ~3,800EUR a month after taxes and social
         | security contributions, which comes in at ~42% combined.
