Questions

I am 28, turning 29 this year, and I don't have a degree. However, I make about $70k/yr (about to be $80k+/yr) as a frontend engineer. I am not completely directionless. I thought about going to university for the experience. Although, would my experience be different than that of someone who is 18-22? I also want to see if I can get a young girlfriend and potentially find a wife there.

I get the feeling in Germany I will not get paid as much as in the US for working the same job. By checking this link https://www.glassdoor.com/Career/software-engineer-career_KO0,17.htm I suspect I will be better off in America.

Here's the salary range in Germany for Software Engineers:

And here is the salary range in the United States for Software Engineers:

Deduct from the monthly pre-tax salary ~40% in Germany and that's the net salary (for class 1 meaning unmarried and single, that's me). I don't know how much it is in the US or the individual states of the US. So if you know, let me know.

That means if I want to own a Ferrari (e. g. 458) I should consider relocating to the US. Gold Diggers will be a real problem though, however there definitely will be career ladies to make happy.

Or if I really want to get a Ferrari ASAP, then I should relocate to Thailand (Pattaya?) and work for the US as an independent contractor. It'll work for sure.

I’ve got through to interview for the job advertising “circa 52k” but don’t want to waste time with it if they can’t get anywhere near the 64k I was offered for another job.
