The average salary is like 50k (with many positions going lower) and you are basically viewed as a manual worker.
US devs get >$100k a year, EU devs get <70k€ a year.
$100k is 83k€, and you should probably include cost of living in these comparisons. Nobody has college debt in Germany for example.
I wouldn't actually call real estate ownership cheap in Germany. Yet, many engineers from the US own their home.
Ouch!
