I wonder if this could help the IT workers from the public sector in Germany (E12, around 2500 €/month).
Anyone knows why it is like that?
Once, I heard about some speculative extra amounts made by guarantees in purchases. (Germans love guarantees, and any hardware purchase has a 50% surplus that can easily be split 1:1 between vendor and whoever was in charge. Yes, it would be illegal… But nearly impossible to prove.)
E12 starts at 4.170,32 € gross and up to rises 6.516,74 € depending on experience. That is gross. That is for a job, which is low stress and you can not be fired unless you pretty much commit a crime on the workplace.
I work in the Dutch public sector in IT, but with a few years of experience, I’m already beyond 4k/mo.
Sounds like the union isn’t pulling it’s weight…
You’re net salary is beyond 4k? Are you hiring?
Those jobs exist, and are hiring. My company (US-based, Software, between 1k and 10k employees) is hiring architects in Germany (anywhere, 100% remote) for significantly over 4k net. Starting salary is over 100k, plus a nice RSU package (4 year vest with 1 year cliff). Other similar companies offer comparable compensation packages.
We do require a quite wide tech knowledge and good communication (customer interaction is part of the job, sometimes public speaking). It is not as relaxed as public sector, tho, most weeks are over 40h. Some traveling required, too.
If anyone is interested feel free to ping me (full disclosure: Iget a 5k USD referral bonus if you get hired and pass the Probezeit).
Got the knowledge I think, but not the spunk for the hours. You wouldn’t hire 4 days a week would you :-) ?
I’m not the hiring manager, but as far as I know we don’t hire part time :(
I am interested as well
Feel free to pm me if you have any questions :)
Something I forgot to add above: since the position requires speaking with customers, most countries require fluent local language (apparently with the exception of Scandinavia).
It’s gross, not net. The net amount is like 3200.
Here in Washington State it has had some effect. At my work, we had many people leave because their salary wasn’t on the high side of the range even though they were more senior. We also had hiccups in hiring because candidates come in asking for the high end salary but then their experience is abysmal to say the least. But then you train this person for 2 or 3 years for them to actually be of any use, and they leave because now they got something to chase a higher salary with. A small company can’t afford to raise salaries all the time, specially if it’s for people who are in training and don’t even know it. Anyway, to give you a clue, if you fuck up like 5 times and nobody gives a shit, you’re still in training. However, if you think you’re gonna fuck up and upper management call a meeting to discuss the status, then you should probably ask for a raise.
Only the salary ranges for a position become public. They aren’t going to publish what they pay each employee.
And if it’s anything like California the ranges will be useless. My salary “range” is quoted as $80k - $170k. Real fucking useless.
so you get paid $80k right?
Article 9.5 of this directive leaves the door open for each country to decide whether or not to require companies with fewer than 100 employees […] to publish this information.
