Being in European tech is so tiresome

Is being a stem gay outside the US just a big meme (especially in Europe)?

90-100k€ (all-in, 40h) is considered as end game and ceiling for stem people (well, the good ones and even then only like 15% can reach this) in Germany, everyone else earns around 60-75k€ until they retire.
Renting a 50-60m2 flat costs you 1200-1500€ per month in big cities and only there you get proper jobs.
Take a look at this:

Doctors or lawyers make at least double, more likely triple of that.

Cannot win with stocks, cannot win with crypto, cannot buy real estate.
Cannot do anything even as a top earner at MANGA/gayMAN (which only nets you 10-15% more than pic related).
>no tariff

What am I supposed to do?
Consume and waste my money?
Slave forever in my job and be happy to own nothing?

INB4 some gay recommends remote work in a low-cost area.
None of the big companies allow you to work full remote, it's always 3-4 office days and 1-2 home office days.
And before you recommend Meta or some US startups, Meta has a hire freeze and for everything else that's even less likely than getting into gayMAN itself here in Europe.

Your parents should have forced you to swallow the med or law pill.
TFW you will never make it in Europe without being born into old money.

    to this day I dont understand why companies just have to have offices in the worst places.
    like, they dont pay more or provide housing, no they expect you to find something in a place filled with big companies (munich alone has apple, intel, nvidia, ibm, bmw, microsoft, bosch, siemens and many more) and gladly pay stupid amounts of money for their office palaces.
    apple alone invested 1 billion $ into a new office in the MIDDLE OF THE CITY.
    >https://www.imore.com/apple-move-new-office-near-munich-central-station
    why?
    remote no.
    office in a more quiet and cheaper place no.
    wasting tons of money?
    yes

    not only Europe is to blame here, companies are also fricking moronic.

      Why do you keep track of money with precision of 5 decimal places, and why do you use a comma to separate the 1/1000 decimal place from the 1/10000 decimal place

        In case you're not baiting: in a lot of countries people use . and , contrary to the way they're used in e.g. the US, i.e. dot separates 1000, meaning he kept track of money with a precision of 2 decimal places.

          now you are larping. the german rent system is a ponzi scheme and will collapse in the 2030s. you will not see any money you've ever paid in.
          >>600€ work insurance (you get free gibs to the amount of 80% what you earned if you manage to somehow lose your job)
          only for a year, it has a max level and after that its hartz4, but only if you don't have any savings, else you get nothing.
          >>4k health insurance (you don't have to pay ANY extra costs, it covers anything aside from purely cosmetical shit)
          need someone else but a general practitioner? wait 3-6 months for an appointment.
          and btw, almost every proper company has insurance in the states, you only pay maybe 50-500$.
          i will gladly do so when i earn three or four times more than an stupid socialist europoor.

        You europoors really need to look up how insurance works in the US. If I moved to the UK and made the same amount I make here in the US I would pay right around 5 times MORE for health insurance then I pay now. You guys are so cucked you can't even realize that you are still paying for health insurance and paying more for it in the form of increased taxes. It's not free or cheap, stop pretending it is.

            this dude is quite right though, the general health insurance is complete trash and quality is basically absent.
            Private insurance gets you to prolly to 10% of what you would get in other -less social- countries. The europoor insurance is literally to keep you alive, not to solve any of your health problems.

    Here in the UK it used to be that you would employ yourself as a consultant and avoid taxes that way, but then they introduced ir35 which broke that loophole and forced you to pay income tax the same as everyone else.
    At least corporate tax & CGT is quite low, meaning one could avoid egregious income taxes by starting their own business. Unfortunately, that's a hell of a lot harder to figure out than simply working for a big tech firm or being a consultant. Incidentally, all monied peoples have an army of tax specialists to pay the least amount of tax possible while running their business, whatever it may be.
    How is tax law for business in Germany and the wider EU?

      The major problem is that Germany is an absolute hellscape. Go work in Sweden or some other nordic country, you get more money, less deductibles overall than in Germany, and a government that does not actually pour your taxes down the drain. Compared to Sweden, Germany looks and smells like India.

      Switzerland is nice too as there are way less deductibles coming off your higher salary. UK is a shithole too, but at least you get the chance to score a well paying job in London.
      Or, as pointed out, just go to the US. If you don't have a cushy government job, Germany is ass. Just get out.

    You're actually moronic. Most people in the US make a similar salary, you're comparing people that work in FAANG with regular EU jobs, get a job at a top Finance company in London (HFT, Market Makers, etc) or at a FAANG company and you'll be making like 120-150k in your first couple of years going up all the way to 300k.

    In fact, I personally know a quant software engineer that made 600k last year (300k base, 300k bonus). And before you gays say I'm LARPing, google how much the top HRT firms pay their top quants and I AM NOT claiming that I'm making this much, I work a regular software engineering job and make 80k a year, but to pretend that STEM is a meme is moronic, it's just harder to get into the top paying jobs here than it is in the US because most of those companies have more offices in America than t hey do here. You're just a mediocre engineer and you're making a mediocre salary, just like mediocre engineers in the US make mediocre salaries.

          why do you larp? its not even a good larp.
          new grads at faangs in munich start with 60-70k base salary and 10-20k stocks.
          new grads at european companies starts with 60-70k without stocks, because there are no stock options.

            Not the guy who you are replying too, but you are fricking moronic if you think FANG/Unicorns pay less than 100k for new grad technicals like Software and Electrical Engineers.

            Some of these companies pay fricking interns what equals out to be 90k a year to work for them over the summer.

    Stop whining so much, tech people have it pretty good. I used to be in physics/semiconductor. Average Atomic Energy Commission engineers make 40k. Average project leads make 50k. And that's considered a pretty good position, look at non-CEA researchers salaries (especially CNRS) and weep for them.
    I switched to a dev job, and make 50k right off the bat, plus bonuses. And that's in a company with a reputation for fairly low wages.

    Nah, doctors make around the same, they also have much shittier hours (working 60-70 hours a week) and much bigger responsibilities than the average codegay. The only advantage is that you're not the underling of someone and are pretty much free to frick off whenever you want.
    For lawyers it's pretty much the same and imo the most boring office job only second to accountant.

    Es ist eig noch schlimmer als das.

    Many of my friends are physicians or dentists in Germany and their job is absolute shit. Everyone hates their job and their life. I know some lawyers too and this either the most boring job, or if not boring, the least comfy job ever. And not just Germany, basically everywhere. OP, to think that those are good alternatives just shows how much of a mongoloid you are.

    The truth is: For someone who wants to become (not stay) wealthy, EVERYTHING is shit in Germany and has always been. Germany was literally always the forefather of serfdom/no-upward-mobility.
    - The birthplace and execution-place of communism
    - The birthplace of the wellfare state and thus high tax burden (Bismarck invented it)
    - After some communist shitholes, maybe the worst bureaucracy-burden to people.

    The only solution is to literally leave Germany for a more capitalist country like the anglo-saxon countries of the west (UK, US, Canada, Australia). Those countries still have problems but I know from family, friends and myself living in such countries, that they are much more open to high salaries for high achievement and believe much more in self-actualisation than Germany.

    My plan is, after I got some more savings and work experience as a fullstack dev here (i am already) to become one in Australia on an independent visa.

    Germany is a country of naive, rent-seeking serfs that only care about externalities. Every manager has the goal to have their problems solved by SAP.

    It's good that you are trying to quantify your impact but I wouldn't put numbers unless they are significant.

    - $20k savings / year: That's pocket change
    - increasing productivity / efficiency by 40$ / 10%: I call BS, how do you measure this?
    - 1% down time: Ho wmany 9's did you achieve? 99%? 99.9%? 99.999%? This is fairly important. If I a program didn't work every 100th time I open it I would uninstall it
    - 100% accuracy: What does this mean? You didn't accidentally the prod data?
    - reducing labour cost by $2000 - see pocket change comment above

    What was the drone footage thing used for? Who used the live chat / map thing? What JSON data was read?

        this.

        Fact is most germans are ambitionless and more afraid of losing the little they have than making it big. If you want to earn decent money take the freelance pill, found a company (outside of germany ofc) and create a product or join FAAGMAN or some other soulless pile of shit. But you won't do any of this, because it is too hard and tiresome.

    When you say that you make 100k euros a month, what is your actual monthly income?
    A quick google search shows that the income tax on Europe is of about 40%. So you make 5k a month?
    Also, if your government literally steals almost half of your income, why don't you revolt and create a revolution? This is absurd.

      100K before taxes is about 60K after taxes in my country (the Netherlands).

      Income tax rates:
      0 till € 35.942 ,19,20 %
      from € 35.942 till € 68.508 37,10 %
      from € 68.508 49,50 %

      The working man is a sucker.

    You aren't capitalising on your skills then or taking bigger risks for bigger rewards.

    The real money is in Consultancy. In my area of IT - Enterprise Architecture you can consult for over £1000 a day (min contracted at 37.5 hours weekly). Especially In the public sector too you can get contracts that last for years because if you are moderately decent at what they bring you in for you will get renewed because there isn't the replacement staff.

    We've had one contractor who earns this. He was brought in on a 1 year contract and has had it renewed for 15 years.

    In addition our renewal process takes a month too; so he uses that as part of his yearly leave on top of his bank holidays, plus whenever he feels like taking time off. His longest break period was 60 days in one year which is double my annual leave and within a month had made back half my annual salary.

    Assuming around 260 work days a year; plus a modest annual leave of around 45 days (20 days during contract renewal + 8 Bank Holidays + another 17 doted around the year) that gives him 215 working days at 1k a day - so £215k before tax. With IR35 he can afford an accountant and his PLC is used to employ his wife to fiddle what he pays out. Plus he claims so much back.

    Start your own company, do really well, offer better pay for the best programmers around, who would probably fricking love to work for you because they're in the same boat you are now.

    Or you could be a b***h, not take the risk and get the pay you deserve because you won't fight for more.

      >just start a company bro
      I started a software company two years ago. It makes me about 20,000 USD a year, is not growing, and I feel depressed and useless all the time because the number of sales is not increasing and I can't afford the things I would like to have.
      This is still a success story, most people who venture into entrepreneurship don't make any money (see the losers at indiehackers).
      Also tried trading stocks before that using algorithms and failed.
      I'm in a hole and don't know how to get out of it.

    Reminder that all the europoor cope whining about how america's not actually that much better is straight up nonsense
    Europoors make *way* less money in tech and pay *more* in taxes
    >but american devs don't actually make that much!
    Yes we do
    >but muh healthcare!
    All American tech jobs provide free or extremely low-cost comprehensive health insurance to the employee, and the quality of healthcare in America is significantly better than in europe. A complete non-point.
    >but muh shootings!
    You have a far higher chance of getting raped and murdered by an immigrant in europe than shot by anyone in the US.
    >muh cost of living!
    There are high and low cost of living areas in both America and europe, and they're similar. European tech workers are just locked out of their HCoL areas because they're poor.

        >cherry picking a specific stat in a specific country
        Compare murders by immigrants in all of Europe to gun-related homicides (be careful to not include suicides) in America. Then when you see how much lower the latter is, filter out minority-on-minority homicides from both and watch the gap grow even wider.

          Sweden literally is made up of 26% fresh immigrants. If you remove white people entirely from the equation, the murder rate would still be less than the U.S.

          Europe's murder rate is 3 per 100k. Even the worst country in Europe has a lower murder rate than the U.S

            Three quarters of homicides in the US are Black folk killing other Black folk in some ghetto somewhere.

    You're just an incompetent gay lol. I just got a job as sysadmin in le Europe with only my ricing experience. It's comfy shit, I just have to watch the computers and fix them up when they brake. 90% of time is spent reading manga and watching anime. Net income of 3K a month for a start and in this economy I'm sitting comfortably in lower middle class. I work only half the month.

    I'm an Eastern Euro and I earn 3000€/month after ~~*taxes*~~.
    I have my own apartment and zero debt. My secret? Just inherit your grandparents' apartment lmao.
    But seriously, complaining about housing is moot because EVERYONE is getting fricked in the ass except entrepreneurs who really earn the big bucks.
    Doctors and lawyers just wagecucks with higher pay and longer hours, and they have to apply for the same buttfrick loans if they want to buy real estate.
    Life is good if you work in tech. I've been working from home for over 2 years and my living expenses are around 700-800 per month, which leaves me shitloads to save, invest and buy whatever the hell I want.
    If you're valuable like me, your company doesn't give a shit where or how long you actually work as long as you get shit done. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
