But in Berlin, you can have a top notch meal with fresh veggies and local ingredients for $5, a beautiful apartment near all sorts of great things for $800 easily, and, oh yeah, excellent healthcare and other social benefits.

You can't talk about salaries in other cities without considering the cost-of-living differences.

That said, I know programmers in Vienna making what I would consider pretty good salaries (60-70K/euros), even in the US. With 5-6 weeks of vacation.



You mean a self-prepared meal for $5? If you want to go out, $5 will buy you a Döner or Currywurst.
