It would be great if someone can share some numbers. I am a Software Engineer with more than 8 years of experience. I am expecting an offer from a company in Yelp. What should be the Minimum salary I should expect. I will be moving there with my wife a 5 year old son and a new born baby boy.
Thanking in advance for your valuable feedback.
Best regards,
please have in mind that having a "net" sellary of 2200 Euro you need to have a brutto income of 4000 Euro!
Wolf.
Germany it is not common to sell 0.33l water bottles. Usual sizes are
0.5, 0.7, 1.0 and 1.5 liter bottles. The price for a mineral water
bottle (PET) in a supermarked like Aldi ranges from 19 to 39 cents.
Higher quality water (more minerals) is in a range of 0.90 to 2.00 EUR
i looking for master study in performing art. can somebody tell me which good uni in hamburg?
Hamburg has a good job situation, with many international companies.
Most still expect you to have some knowledge of german language though.
Rents are much higher, than what this website suggests, so you'd be better off with a job before you arrive.
