German Doctors aren’t that well paid. Sub €100k is normal. But here they don’t finish medical school with half a million dollars in debt.

I would probably retire, before I reached that kind of salary as a Software Engineer in Germany (especially as a foreigner from a post-communist state). There's a very hard glass ceiling here.

Alternatively I could highly increase my chances (and quality of life) by jumping the border to Switzerland.

Google Munich? Amazon Berlin? Zalando? Many places with these kind of salaries for senior engineers in Germany. Many are foreigners (me included).
