No, not like in the US. I guess the main factor is that the pay ranges are much smaller for the jobs accross companies.

You won't get a 30% raise by jumping ship, unless you were severly underpaid.

Also there is a glass ceiling for ICs (90k€ -100k€) that is really hard to break through with the exception of very few faang jobs.

I went from 65k to 87k to 170k in about three years.

This is total compensation (only counting real shares, no virtual stock) and I haven't worked for FAANG. The 170k company is a big corp though.

In Germany as a software dev? Sounds almost to good to be true.
