@axel@hsnl.social @malte@anticapitalist.party @bert_hubert@eupolicy.social yep, things do look nice financially if you're employed by say the Joint Research Center of the EU Commission, for example. An hourly salary of > 30€ isn't rare though, so I really don't think you're overbilling.

@axel@hsnl.social @malte@anticapitalist.party @bert_hubert@eupolicy.social why I say that: TV-L (union rate of public servants of the federal states), group E13 (>= Master in their job), level 6 (at least 5 jobs on the job or a comparably responsible position), 40 h/week full-time: https://oeffentlicher-dienst.info/c/t/rechner/tv-l/allg?id=tv-l-2027&g=E_15%DC&s=6&zv=VBL&z=100&zulage=&stj=2026&stkl=1&lst4f=&r=0&zkf=0&pvk=0&kk=17%2C05%25 111,218.21 €/year pre-taxes for 2026 and 61,515.55 € post taxes for an unmarried person with no dependents. TV-L (neu 2025) grants 30 days of paid vacation, so that's 224 working days in 2026, making the salary 62.06€ pre-, 34.32€ post-tax.
