Comparing just to SF is a bit misguided. By the same reasoning, what is your reaction if I told you the average software developer makes $120 in Zurich?


Zurich is not Germany. It's Switzerland, a different country. And many Germans move to Switzerland, because salaries there are higher and taxes are ~2 times lower.


And San Francisco is on a different continent


Berlin, along with Munich, is probably the hotspot for tech in Germany, so I think the comparison is actually quite apt.
