Ruby on Rails

Ah, forget my previous post, around ~1,5k will go to paying the bills, food etc. so it's about 1k staying in your pocket for entertainment or anything else that's not a required expense.

Hi Werner, thanks for your helpful answers!

When you say 30k, you mean after paying bills (house, food etc), right?

Hi Werner.

Well I'm 24, I have a lot of experience generally on computers and web development (~10 years). So what would you aim for if you were me? It's going to be a full-time work, I'm going to be a part of the team. Someone recommended ~50k (I'm a junior in Rails, but learning fast and built some quite good things till now).

50k is fine to start.

Also, what would you estimate the life there costs? I mean, the bills (house, electricity, water, food, internet/phone)?

Rent: 500.- for 1-2 Rooms

Apartment with furniture 600.-/ 800.-

Food : 250.-

Transport: 60.- (public)

Haircut: 10.-

Party...???

when you earn 50k, no kids ..income taxes will be around 30%..but also you have to pay sick- and pension insurance, etc. . So from 50k around 30k will stay in your pocket.. which is not bad for 24 year young guy.

Enjoy Berlin..culture is great.

o.k. weather is not like Barcelona..no siesta (8:00 - 17:30 straight work),  no outdoor sitting in the sun , running  around in t-shirt etc..at least not from now to next May. Can be be fucking cold in Jan - March

Communication can be mostly in english..no need to learn German..in the beginning.

Berlin people are a little direct at times but helpful, but there are so many foreigners..

Go for it.. Spain is not in a good shape right now...

Werner

Also, I heard the taxes there are quite high, something like 45%?

Hello all.

I'm living in Spain, and I'm offered a job in a Berlin IT company as a Rails developer. I'm considered a junior developer (almost 1 year experience) but I think I'm pretty good for this time. 

I would like to ask what would be considered a good salary for such a position. I mean, what amount would be good and could make a decent life out of (apartment bill, internet, food etc.). I don't know if this matters, but I will relocate there.

Also, does anybody knows what's the average IT salary in Berlin for Rails developers?

Thanks,

Santiago
