Working in IT how to gain money?

Fellow Veeky Forumsnessmen

I’m 25 years old, working in IT and make about 46k€. I recently checked the housing and property prices in southern bavaria where I have to work to get a decent job in my industry.

I save about 1k a month while living in a shared flat in Munich and still have to drive about 1 hour to work every day and 1 hour back. No car no everything. Not much “fun” stuff.

Still I can’t even think of ever being able tu buy a property here, which costs about 1 million without a house or something on it. Even 100qm flats cost about 400k to buy.

I grew up in a normal family where my dad was able to sustain our income together with my mum to pay off a nice house. Today it feels like you can only get a nice house if you inherit it or you win the lottery or have a job way above 200k € a year.

Am I fucked Veeky Forums? I just want a nice house for my family to live the life. What is wrong with this world? I feel like there’s nothing one little man can do.

I'm just sick of the media and the "statistics" telling me all the time that I already own above average when I can't even afford a decent living.

What do you do in IT? If possible try to get an MBA or some manager/IT degree

Unironically move out of there
Go to America/Canada. Cheap housings and costs of life relative to where you live.
Otherwise, augment your skillset
Get the CCNA, ITIL, COBIT

This. I am in Canada and with these certs this is where it's at.

Write a program that takes all of the fractions of pennies that get lost to rounding error in your employer's accounting systems and have them routed to your bank account.

I recently graduated in MIS and have no idea what exactly I should do for a start in my career.

I've heard back from some IT Support jobs, but just don't know if that's all I'll ever get or if it is alright to start there and work my way up.

Really just need some advice from someone who has been in IT for a while I guess to understand what I need to do to get the ball in motion.

house prices are on an all time high, fellow kraut. if you're able to save 1k per month you're doing pretty well. consider buying silver and gold (not more than 5%) to build a backup in case of a fuckeroo.
you should not buy a house in bavaria and especially not munich because it's the most expensive area besides berlin and hamburg.
build up a side business. with 1k excess cash per month you can try out what goes and what doesn't.

Actually a 100 qm flat costs about 800k Euro in Munich.
You can buy a small business apartment of 20 qm for 150k Euro and rent it for 600 Euro monthly. You can pretty much cover your bank loan with this without having to pay more than 100 Euro from your own pocket each month. Of course or will take you something like 15 years or more to pay it off.

Or do the crypto way:
Get at least 10 bitcoins, wait 10 years for them to hit 100k and you're done. Buy your house and be happy.

So either you work even more (on the side) to make more money / move up in the company / start your own thing -- Munich has a huge IT biz, the possibilities are there.

Or you settle for a (probably) less interesting job in Eastern Germany (minus Berlin), where housing is actually cheap.
Munich is just insane.

>I’m 25 years old, working in IT and make about 46k€.

so after euro taxes you're left with ~25k a year?

I lived in germany and yes you are right, its a socialist shithole for young people.

Unless you come from a wealthy family or somehow come up with a new business idea, if you are a wage slave you'll be unable to buy anything substantial for many years.

Move to the USA and get a high paying job, you'll be able to afford a big house.

Your murican "big houses" are what we consider cardboard houses in Europe. Cheap and useless shit which will be blown away by the first greater storm.

the point is that as a young man in germany you won't be able to afford a "real" house for many years unless you become wealthy or inherit some wealth from your family.

Hint: look for smart financial advisors.

- 12k saved each year (assuming no progression in your wage)
- located in a solid index fund will end up with about 6% per year

After 18 years you have around 400k.
If you add 500€ per year to the initial 12k per year, you have it in 15 years. Get yourself a wife which adds also 1k per month to this, you have it in about 11 years.
Do both and you have it in 10.


Ehrlich: geh zu nem Finanzberater. Dafür sind wir da.

Lol @ Germany, I make that much in Bulgaria and pay 10% tax.

You deserve it for staying in Germany and feeding refugees with half your salary. Just move east, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland and even Belarus have VERY decent IT offers (much better than anything in socialist west europe).

sorry man but it isnt our cycle yet. wait for the grandparents and parents to die so you can get their house/inheritance. either that or wait for the housing market to crash again, might be 50 by then though.

a decade to have 400k. lmao. what a joke...

spend money learning a new skill that is more profitable. take a shot at starting a business. if youre happy with life then sure, just save up. you will realize that its fucking nothing once you get older though. not worth it at all. better off having fun living hand to mouth,

such is life as a wageslave. if you want to become rich quick, market yourself. Start a business. Win the lottery.

for some extremely basic motivation, take a look at this article

>a decade to have 400k. lmao. what a joke...

OP was complaining about not beeing able to pay for a house.

I showed him that with his current conditions it is well possible to do in a time which is below average for this amount of money.

If you misstake the need of your customer, you are bound to fail, regardless of what you do.

Shit is fucked everywhere f a m. I'm in Canada (Toronto) and the situation is even worse. Software Dev, and can already see that wagecucking will never get me where I want to be (and I dont have extremely ambitious goals either).

germanfag here
OP you need to get the fuck out of krautistan
this is legit the worst place in the world to make money

I moved to SEA to build my online business
there is NO WAY IN HELL I couldve done it in germany... with millions of rules and the gubmint taking stealing more than half of my money

germany is a socialist hellhole. its good if youre a nigger who wants to live off welfare. if youre ambitious and driven youre getting raped.

gtfo either to some third world shithole where they dont care about taxes... or even the US. wages are way higher and taxes are fairly reasonable. you could always come back in a couple of years once you got the money for your own house (if germany isnt a complete caliphate by then)

Im probably gonna move to the US myself. bust my ass for a cpl of years in a high income job, then ill move to montana or some other 99% white state and make 10 white babies.

>Im probably gonna move to the US myself
Don't you ever live a day here without health insurance. A minor car accident that is someone else's fault could ruin you financially here.
Just take that extra income you see and spend 30% of it on healthcare and see if it is still profitable.

How much does health insurance cost ? I live in Berlin, Germany and earn ~45k€ / year as a web developer. Taxes are around 40%...
I know I could earn twice as much in the US while paying a lot less taxes.

implying we live without private health insurance here in EU. Even if you don't have private insurance, whether you want it or not you still have to part way with half your hard earned cash.

americans dont know how good they have it there, they are world class divas.

I thank God every day I live in America. High pay, cheap taxes. No place like here to make yourself financial independent.

It's not terribly expensive. It's more of a question of being properly integrated in the system. Family plans tend to get fucking expensive, but solo coverage isn't bad. The most important thing is to know when and how your insurance pays, and, more importantly, when it does not pay, and you are responsible. All the insurance in the world does no good if you go to a hospital that does not accept it.
>whether you want it or not you still have to part way with half your hard earned cash.
Yuros are the divas here because you don't know how large the gap is between uninsured and insured. There is no base coverage. A minor accident with a few stitches could cost thousands and a minor oversight on insurance coverage details could leave you on the hook for the whole thing.

Was hast du studiert um einen Finanzberater zu werden?

you know we do dhave health insurance here in germany too
and its fucking expensive as fuuck
and you have to get it by law

lol you WISH they would tax you at 40%
add it all up with social security and indirect taxes and youre looking at over 60%.

das rite! german ZOG takes two thirds of your money to give it to third world subhumans and have them shit out more brown kids

dude why would a couple of stitches cost you thousands of dollars?
i havent been insured in years. when I go to the doc (which is NEVER) i just pay myself

my medical bills over the last 3 years add up to less than 500 bucks. thats about what you pay in one MONTH in germanistan for health insurance

It's not dramatically more expensive. You just get taxes and healthcare in one payment. The separate healthcare and tax burden in burgerland is about the same. We just pay the healthcare to private companies.
Healthy people get fucked in insurance today. What would you do if seriously broke a bone though? You would be beyond fucked. I'll be the first to say that insurance is a scam and is what is actually driving costs up, but I don't make the rules. It's too expensive to not have insurance. I'm not declaring bankruptcy over a medical procedure when there is insurance to prevent that.

>What would you do if seriously broke a bone though?

I would go to the doctor and pay CASH
get first class treatment over state insured plebs too

wheres the problem?

You're the typical case of an inbred Ossi from a village in dunkel Deutschland.

As an European you are expected to be a little more educated than that you troglodite.

>inb4 leftist nignoglover usw.

I'm carrying business here in Germany and despite all the taxes it's still a very good place to build a business as the institutions are the strongest and safest in Europe.

>broken bone is probably less than $10k. Still ahead in the long run
Now you have a serious condition that needs repeated treatments. How deep are your pockets? Did you spend all that time earning that money to hand it over to a doctor because you were too smart for insurance? glhf.
Everyone gets old. Accidents happen. You aren't special.

Orignal OP here

Yes

HOnestly everyone i know is having a house for his children by the end of 35 at last. So getting something in 18 years doesn't cut it. Not to mention that400k don't last at all.

I've already talked to my financial advisor and have a Bausparer (cucked desu).

Still feels like there's no way to ever get near the wealth of my parents even though earning almost as much as my father now.

is that including a helicopter ride to the hospital?
thats outrageous

>muh strong institutions
>muh youre racist so you must be a redneck
>muh liberal edumucation

lol I got a Diplom and probably make more money than you, you cuck
enjoy paying for ahmed to shit out 10 kids on your dime
its because of faggots like you that germany is turning into a brown hellhole. Ill take some inbred ossi over retards like you every day of the week.

I also work in Munich OP. Make around 75k europesos as a dev. With that, I invest around 2k per month, without giving a shit about budgeting.
Just do some job hopping every couple of years until you get to the salary ceiling for your profession.

>is that including a helicopter ride to the hospital?
No way, that presumes you got yourself to the hospital. The last ambulance ride I took was $2500 and that was with no onboard treatment, just the ride.
I could not even guess how much a helicopter ride would be, but more than $25k would not seem unreasonable.

kek, something associated to BMW? Seems like everyone is somehow tied to them moreless.
Haven't been in a company longer than 2.5 years and don't intend to stay in the current one longer than 3 years.

It feels like I'm in a bubble right now. I'm pretty skilled in my specialty but that's not really of much worth to the "standard" IT or dev world. Could be that I'll get cucked by the jobmarket in a few years when pajeets keep invading the classic IT world.

If you want to move to Canada here is bulletproof plan user : do a Ms in Cs specialized in artificial intelligence at university of Montreal, do a thesis with yoshua bengio, develop at the same time an ai as a service = profit, ai working for you while you're fucking Mexican chix in cancun. That's what I'm doing. Good luck and thank me latter

good lord
it would still pay off though

in my profession youd easily clear 200-300k a year in the US
in germany youd be happy to crack six figures working the same job. and the taxes are alot higher than in the US

kek, thanks user. Will stick to my east german wife though. Was already interestd in AI for some time. Maybe I'll get deeper into it.

Male high-standard prostitution ? You said you had a Diplom, you're probably giving good conversation to your client after being anal fucked.

lol just kys you loser

At the very minimum you should have catastrophic coverage which is very cheap and protects you from extended hospital stays, which no one ever plans for.
I think maybe the grass is not as green here as people would have you believe.
I live in a top ten city and the traffic is unbelievable, the people are breathtakingly rude, the food is expensive and not that great, and all the attractions and things to do are tourist money traps for suckers.
Europe has the most beautiful, clean, and quiet cities I have ever seen. Don't rush over here to trade all you have for a fake society and poorly planned shit hole cities.

Just starting as a Dev in munich. How long would you say one should stay at a company before hopping ?

good call on the catastrophic coverage. thats fair enough

you know Im very reluctant to make the move
Id prefer to stay in my homecountry, but Im telling you western europe is fucked
if youre ambitious and want to make money, this place is hell on earth
plus theyre flooding every tiny village now with arabs and niggers. you will see somalian bulbhead negros walking around in tiny german villages now.

at least the US still has 99% white states
lower taxes
guns
higher income potential

but yeah Im not sure if I could deal with US culture. Im actually flying out there in october just to get a feel for things on the ground.

Nah, I'd rather earn a bit less than having to deal with boring automotive shit.

2-3 years. Got friends that have made big career jumps by switching even with just one year stints.

You want small market towns in the west and north. Large cities are already like you describe. Somali driving a Prius is a meme where I live. The more profitable the town, the more brown people that move there to do the service jobs that the economy creates.

big city = big profits and brown people
medium city = pretty ok profits and racist rednecks
small city = no money and brown people and rednecks

totally agree to the 2-3 year stints and the automotive shit.

i think your big cities are way worse than in europe because you have so many negros chimping out all the time
but europe is tiny so theyre flooding every little village now

the US is so big that you can still find white areas. in europe that is going away fast.

jobwise id have to do 2-3 years in south florida which Im not sure I wanna do that. but after that Im pretty sure I could get a remote position and go wherever I want. I think Id go way out in the sticks in montana or wyoming or something

another option is central/eastern europe. the people there are not cucks like in germany and they keep the sandniggers out. but these places are post-communist shitholes and not really that great either.

but somethings got to give. I have to get away from these shitskins. I dont even want to breathe the same air like these animals.

What so you think I should expect as a starting salary as a dev with a good Masters in Computer Science ? Gonna start in the Automotive Industry in munich. Not a huge company but also not small with ties to BMW and other manufacturers.

The best way to tell when you are visiting is to eat fast food. If white people are cooking and running the register, the town will be completely white with little exception. Be careful if white people take your order but blacks or mexicans are cooking, it is on the decline.

Not the guy you were arguaing with, asrchlog, but your fucking retarded.
Go live in some bumfuck flyover state in the USA of I double dare you son
Have you considered being less of a cuck yourself and do something about being intimidated by brown people?
your pathetic

You can probably get 50-60k. Perhaps a bit more depending on your role.

What if they are all white but with eastern european accent ? Also a few asians mixed in...

Thanks user, hope I can get into BMW within a few years they seem to pay really well

It depends then on the next town over. If they have eastern european accents also and equal asians, you are in New Jersey and should leave on principle. Otherwise you are in a federal witness protection town and should also leave.

Not as good as they used to but you'll easily make your 60-70k there. Pay attention to the company hassle and bitchfight that every big company has and decide if you really want to have that.

that sounds like a good indicator
thx based burger

>muh xenophobia

lol its always the same tired shit with you libtards
im not intimidated by brown people. Im DISGUSTED by them and dont want to be anywhere near them. freedom of association you retard, you ever heard of that?

I also refuse to give up more than half of my money to a government thats openly calling for the exctinction of german people. but of course you wouldnt know anything about that since you probably never even set foot into this country. your german sucks btw, now go kys you cuck.
