***** sensitive topic******🤪🤪


As a student and soon at the end of my studies, I wanted to be so cheeky (mostly seen in Germany) and ask if you people here are so open and would tell me/us what you do for a living and what your annual salary is?


It's just about seeing how the conditions are different/the same in every industry. Also because I'm a fan of talking about money and want to know if I should change my direction right away lol.


I hope to earn around €54,000 starting salary even with my Master's in Civil Engineering. But at the moment I'm just a student assistant at the university with a €450 a month job.



Thank you <3

I was in technical sales and had a great salary of around €50,000 net. Now I'm self-employed and earn less, but I now have more freedom, can plan and implement things myself, am not accountable to anyone and don't have to crawl up anyone's a.... grovel. Simply more freedom. I've learned that the money that ends up in your account on time doesn't make you happy. Imagine working hard at a company and then it simply closes (I've seen this happen to many of my friends). You have to ask yourself what is more important to you. Earning a lot of money or not so much...

60,000 gross as a service technician in mechanical engineering. But it can be scaled up by another 20-25, depending on how much I travel and work overtime. More importantly, however, would be the approximate place of residence, if I earn 60K in my sleepy middle Hesse, I can live very well with it. If I get 80k at Porsche, but have to live in the Stuttgart metropolitan area, well.

I actually don't know for this year because the monthly salary has changed a few times due to experience level increases and corona bonuses, but if I assume just the basic salary for next year, that would be just under 38k net. I am a soldier
