Can you provide links to websites that engineers get paid 100k in Germany?

My impression is that it’s around 50k. That’s what, for example, car companies or top R & D places pay the best graduates from TUM (I am talking about PhDs with years of experience in advanced engineering).

But OP should also consider health care costs. You still pay 800-900 Euro in Germany (450 paid out of salary and an equivalent amount by the employer, which is essentially taken from salary), and with that you get excellent health care for a single person in US, but things change if you are unemployed. Overall, German health care system is better.

100K isn't a common salary for entry or mid level but as senior engineers or mangers you can definitely make it. I'm working in Germany. With my bonus I touch just about 100K. I have 10 years of experience though. Although when recruiters contact me and if you mention 100K as your minimum they don't seem very excited about it. Same with companies.

I am not familiar with the German market so I wouldn't know. I lead software engineering at a small startup in the US and talk with other CTOs. I think at this point, a lot of US startups will consider any talent anywhere in the world and the exception being legality (for example, companies with clients in the public sector). Salary-wise, it depends on seniority. A very senior engineer could reach Bay Area salaries and I know a few (exception?) who far exceeds those levels. Due to the nature of remote work, junior engineers will have a tougher time so location will definitely be a factor.
