>Whoever said that in Germany people make enough are nuts.

You make enough if you're some senior manager at Siemens, Bosch, Porsche, BMW, DHL, DB, Lufthansa, Infineon, big-pharma, etc. one of these companies who are Germany's FAANGs.

If you're a low to mid-level IC, no.

Nah, only real execs(director+) make good salary at those companies, rest are comparable to SWE ICs in scaleups.

That's still very good money for German wages, also keep in mind that senior managers at those big wealthy German companies don't do shit all day while having a iron clad job security. Just send emails, drink coffee, have chats with other managers, then drive home, while ICs at scale-ups have a lot more work, stress and responsibility on their shoulders of keeping the ship afloat and the services running.
