Software Developer Salary in Germany

How much is a fair salary for software developer with around 5 YoE in Germany, Baden area (Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Mannheim)? I have some offers around 60-65K per year. Does it make sense or I should go for higher?

Why not Berlin?

Sounds little low. Berlin might be a better bet.

Berlin's not an option for me, but here shouldn't be this much lower I guess. 15-20K is a lot!

Agoda O(nlogn) Sep 13, 2020

For Berlin would be around 80k

Even for English speakers? I found some roles here close to 80 but they all need German B2.

Yes, for English only. Take a look at Amazon, Zalando, maybe OLX.

Generally, it depends what kind of edu and exp you have, as 60-65k€ with 5 YoE for an SWE in DE is about an average according to national stats. Large German companies that work according to IGM tarifs tends to pay more (e.g. SAP, Bosch, BMW, etc.).There one might get closer to 80k€ TC. Finally, there is still FAA(N)G in DE, which can offer to double your average German salary ;)
