In SV there is (it seems to me) an attitude that tech entrepreneurship is a win-win for capital and labor, meaning (among other things) talent is paid well. In Berlin I'm sure there are some companies that see it that way, but many are in Berlin because of the cheap labor and they have every intention of leveraging that.
Once you get above a certain level, especially working for bigger companies, it levels out, and you won't be compensated in cash as much as in SV but you'll get all the other things that come with a reasonably well-run social democracy.
But in SV, say, nobody who's any good would work for the Brothers Samwer. In Berlin lots and lots of people need the job.
I could be wrong about this of course, I'm an old fart with a stable gig and all my data are anecdata.
