[Aachen]

I should have read the article properly, thanks for highlighting that quote. Thought I was massively underpaid (not far removed from 50% for the median at the experience level I'll have in 7 months) but, of course, the job ads that mention any salary will be the ones that have a salary to brag about.

I've scarcely seen a job ad in my area that mentions a minimum salary, only in bigger cities (>1M people) some bigcorps that need to be your cup of tea in the first place. That this only includes job ads with salaries mentioned essentially makes this useless.

Plus, not all secondary benefits can be converted to money (how much is working from home worth, the same as a few hundred days' worth of bus tickets? What about the time saved?), which I should also keep in mind when looking at salary comparisons.
