What in the absolute planet is he living on thinking he wouldn’t be better off financially on the 350k?




quote:

My cousin Dietrich is one of the best paid engineers in Germany

He makes €41,000 a year before tax

Last week he got an offer from a big tech company in the US that would net him $350,000

"Are you going to take it?" I asked him

"It's a good offer, but I would actually earn less than now"

He is right. In Europe, he makes €41,000 and gets:

- Free healthcare
- Strong privacy protections
- Diversity
- Pension benefits

If you count this in, it's much more than $350,000

European salaries are the highest in the world if you adjust for quality of life

He's absolutely wrong on his calculations. What an idiot. That American tech firm dodged a huge bullet.

Either he is not making 41k euros or he is not the best paid engineers. He ain't both.

Quit believing everything you read on the internet.

Yeah, when I look at a job offer, diversity in the workplace is one of my biggest concerns.

Please tell me you realize these Twitter posts are meant to drive engagement and aren’t actually real.

Diversity adds to someone’s paycheck. I’m confused.

This is one of the best parody/satire accounts on X.

It’s not real

Hes a great follow though. Funny as hell making fun of Euros and he gets so so so many people. Like you. He’s awesome

My cousin Dietrich is one of the best paid engineers in Germany... At €41k/yr. Considering I know what a lot of engineers make in Germany, this is not a serious post.

I think it’s supposed to be a “benefit” of working for the company.

He’s honestly so good at it. Some of his posts are more subtle.
