Salary growth compared to inflation rate in Germany
In 2023 and 2022 Europes inflation rates skyrocketed.
What does that mean for real salary growth?
According to theFederal Statistical Office of Germany, inflation in 2023 is at 8.3%.
That means that a mere 1.5% growth in average software developer salaries doesnt reflect a substantial growth.
While junior and entry-level developers consistently expect less.
Womens expectations are consistently lower than their male counterparts across all experience levels.
The negative trend continues even when we look at the average offered salaries based on role and gender.
Men receive higher paychecks across all most-in-demand developer roles in Germany.
For DevOps engineers especially, an increasingly popular role, the gender pay gap reaches 8%.
When it comes to demand based on interview invites.
Interestingly, our data on expected salary showed that expected salary was not notably higher for German speakers.
Developers in Berlin are offered 9% more than developers in the rest of Germany.
However, developers in Berlin are not demanding much more than their counterparts in the rest of Germany.
Considering company size also gives employers a useful sense of how to compete for quality talent.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the cost of living, Switzerland offers the highest average salaries within the DACH region.
Expected salary data is determined from developer profiles on the Honeypot platform.
It does not reflect the final negotiated and contracted amount.
