There are companies in Germany who pay really well, especially if you take into account cost of living. Look around a bit before leaving the country.

Do you have any names?
Twitch has some engineering in Berlin, Amazon pays quite well, Siemens pays quite well, as do the various car companies (basically any company with a strong IG Metall presence pays 70k+ for developers), Snowflake has some engineering in Berlin too (I work for them, you can figure out my email address fairly easily and drop me a mail if you like). Startups in Berlin generally pay 60-100k depending on seniority. Median income in Berlin is something like 18k after taxes, so maybe 30k before taxes.
Ah twitch is German explains the poor UI - they really really need some UX
The Berlin office is very small. Most development happens in San Francisco.
Thanks!
BMW, for example. They pay boatloads.
