[Moved to [email protected], check pinned post.] iiiiiiitttttttttttt.

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.
