Mit diesem Beitrag soll eine fragwürdige Behauptung einer privaten Universität in Indien bestätigt werden. Einer der Absolventen der Hochschule behauptet, ein Angebot von Mercedes Benz Deutschland über rund 3 Crore INR (331.000 €) pro Jahr zu haben.
Die Universität nutzt dies derzeit als Werbematerial, um mehr Studenten anzulocken. Sie haben dies sogar veröffentlicht Nachrichten auf einem nationalen Nachrichtensender. Darüber hinaus wird diese Person auf mehreren YouTube-Kanälen vorgestellt, um andere Studenten zu motivieren ([link](#), [link](#), [link](#)).
Ich habe jedoch keine glaubwürdigen Quellen gefunden, die diese Behauptung bestätigen. Das höchste Gehalt, das ich auf Ebenen.zur Information für einen Softwareentwickler bei Mercedes Benz beträgt er etwa 120.000 €. Alle meine Beiträge in Indien-bezogenen Subreddits werden aus irgendeinem Grund gesperrt. Die einzige erfolgreiche Diskussion, die ich hatte, war in einem regionalen Subreddit, das bestätigte, dass seine Behauptungen ungültig sind ([link](#)).

A Manager in Research and developpement at Mercedes earns about 145K€.

An income of 300K gross would put you into the less than 1% of earners in Germany.
Being in the 1% of earners is already something that is very extraordinary. From a **fresh graduate** I would doubt the claim very much.
No. Just no. Complete bullshit.
I’m always baffled by how much disinformation and blatant lying is happening in Indian universities and news about „job opportunites“ in europe.
Nope.
He wont get that much. Even positions with 100K+ are fairly rare. I do not trust his one bit. AI and ML could bump this up a bit, but the 331K is nothing I would buy.
It MIGHT be possible if some of his research turned out a very cool model thats super usefull for Mercedes. But this is then paying him for „previous work“. But not a normal occurrence.
This is not a german typical salary at all.
The normal ceilling in Munich (expensive city) is between 80-100k for a normal good person, who has studied and is in the industry for more than 5 years.
A Portfolio manager at one of the biggest Medical Equipment Manufacturers in Munich with a master’s degree in computer science from Standford University and 4 years work experience at Google headquarters and that man’s making 145,000 euros.
6 Years in the industry, Software Engineer and I can only dream for this much even after 10 years of industry experience I would say.
So, just a complete lie nothing else.
claims like this are usually either invented or are based on unrealistic bonus packages, often something in regard to employee stock programs with unrealistic gains being projected. Even at Mercedes Benz, the number of people pulling 300K+ salaries is just a handful, and this list has people on it who lead the design department or have invented other stuff 15 years ago that the company is still using.
LOL. No.
Bullshit. This is something upper management – meaning really fucking high in the food chain close to c-Level – gets after years of work experience. This is an ultra rare salary, the median income for experienced workers in Germany is 40k, median meaning the majority of the population earns less.
Even the 100k salaries are super rare and certainly not something you earn with a foreign degree from India in an entry level position. That’s 10+ years experience in an high in demand job with management or lead responsibilities, with that salary your head rolls if something goes wrong.
100k are common in the US, but not in Germany.
Lmao not even close.
I’m from India, and do you really not know how easy it is to pay people off to publish bullshit articles? Happens all the time.
That’s a lie. You already know Levels.fyi so as you can see there the biggest payers are Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Stripe.
These can pay 200-300k/year for a few highly productive senior engineers. But that’s not the average.
This is not even in a discussable range. Such a bullshit and embarassing to no ends. This is an amount you do not even get in higher management!
Sometimes people want to believe this bullshit though
Even 100k is an extraordinary salary in Germany which most people will never even get close to. 300k is enormous and will definitely not be the case for fresh graduates from anywhere.
