No country is worse than Germany for software developers. Even the guy from India in this thread earns 2-3x more than usual senior salary in Germany, but expenses are 10x higher here. I really hate this country.
The best thing these salary comparisons are for are with reference to the same country/city; otherwise you have to account for thinks like healthcare costs, differences in rent, expected working hours, holiday time, etc etc.
I seriously doubt that 100k USD in the Bay Area is significantly better than 50-60k in Berlin.
To be fair that guy is like the 1% of IT in India, majority of Indians working in IT (most of them in IT outsourcing companies) dont make high salaries.
