What 's the Golang developer salary in Germany?

In Berlin, Germany there are tech companies with golang jobs.

So what is the average annual salary you can expect?

It is seventy thousand three hundred seventy five euros (73.175 euros or $89.427). That is gross so before tax the salary range for golang engineers in Berlin Germany is from 65000 euros per year up to 73175 euros per year.

This is gross before tax!

Now the weather you fall on the lower range of that scale or the upper range of that scale well depends on a number of factors.

How to get the higher paid job?

I find that the two most important ones are your seniority (something you can't really change) and the financial situation that the company is in (pick the company wisely)

Your seniority will also depend on a number of factors like the years of experience working as a full-time developer is one thing and you need to have minimum three years of full-time experience to be considered the mid-level in Berlin.

If you are new to Golang, there's a good tutorial here.

How to get a Golang job?

But many companies don't just look at the years of experience some actually look much deeper into the complexity of the systems that you have developed in the past as well as at your ability to write reliable code code that scales and code that is clean.

The financial situation of the company always depends on a number of factors but the basic ones include is it a privately owned company does it have investors is it an international corporation with headquarters in Berlin or or just Berlin office.

Am I eligable?

It's fine if you speak only English, German companies
don't usually require German for their engineering jobs. When you're looking at salaries in Berlin Germany keep in mind that the numbers I shared with you is the base salary so around 60, 70 thousand euros per year.

If you are from outside of the European Union you will need either a blue card or a regular work permit to start a job in Berlin.
