Sind sich die Deutschen nicht darüber im Klaren, wie gut ihr Arbeitsmarkt für Spitzenkräfte ist?
Kontext: Vor ein paar Tagen wurde ich scharf kritisiert, weil ich mein Interesse geäußert hatte, als qualifizierter Arzt vom Vereinigten Königreich nach Deutschland zu ziehen. In vielen Kommentaren wurde über niedrige Löhne und die mangelnde Wettbewerbsfähigkeit Deutschlands als Arbeitsstandort geklagt.
Einige der Kommentare waren ziemlich aggressiv. Verstehen die deutschen Top-Profis die Statistik einfach nicht oder gibt es dafür andere Gründe? "Komm nicht nach Deutschland" Mode?

Good job, CDU👍
Statistics > anecdotes
Nice!
Don’t be distraught by a „Don’t come to Germany“ – Reddit is a bubble, and Reddit Germany is a bubble. And this bubble is mostly working in Tech which is currently seeing a recession. But as a Doctor, you’re far from that. Doctors make more bank than 99% of techs ever will (My guesstimation).
A lot of things *are* wrong, but the doomerism is not only getting boring but is a pure waste of time. As a doctor, you would mostly not even be part of the social systems many (rightly) complain about.
Have you already visited Germany for some time to check out where you want to live? My personal favorite is and always will be Hamburg, whose weather can be compared to London .. except less rainy.
„Average post-tax“ does a lot of work here. Does this include pension and health insurance costs? Is it mean or median? Genuinely asking.
Based on what metrics ?
It’s very rare to cross 130k€ if you’re in tech idk about other industries
People love to complain on Germany and not seeing that’s one of the best countries in the world to live in…
Many „Normalverdiener“ have no idea about what is actually possible to earn in Germany with the right qualifications, the right connections or simply being in the right place at the right time.
Germans being extremely reluctant to talk about their income „helps“ in this regard.
>sharing my interest in moving from the UK to Germany as a qualified doctor.
Depends on your field. Medicine? You will get a job withouth any hussle.
Tax the Rich…
People love to complain (and i am guilty of this with my own country), especially when there exists one or two countries where higher salaries exist, without realizing that they are still better off than 99% of the world, and the fact that theres more to quality of life than just how high your salary is. Also, cost of living in Germany is relatively low compared to salaries.
Dont let the comments discourage you.
‘Top incomes’ not average salary.
A doctor is not a ceo. The salaries are good but not sure they are really the top earners mentioned here.
I know teachers who earn more.
I always thought my British counterparts made very little money. Especially compared to how expensive their housing market is.
Why is there neither Luxembourg nor Singapore?
If 99 people go to a bar with Elon aka space Karen on average all are billionaires.
This graphs don’t show much if you take the average and it’s not correlated with cost of living
There is no way this is even remotely true
which FT article is this?
