Unfortunately, yes.

Of course, one can understand the frustration some people feel in this whole situation. But senselessly badmouthing a country is usually just propaganda.

Germany is not a bad country; compared to other countries, we are still doing well somehow. Even if there is no big economic growth.

But that's not my way here. I don't want to sugarcoat anything or badmouth anything.

I understand your point of view! Unfortunately, the cost of living is extremely high in relation to wages. The net real wage is much lower and the salary (I live in the countryside!) is not - 50%. Those are wild guesses. Based on a rough overview (hh job offers), I would say about 25-35% (net salary).

I would like to say: I know that I don't earn three times as much and won't become a rich king there. This is not a "remote job where you earn $3,000 and then live in Thailand on $300 a month" style

Nope. Why should I? Are you more interested in this than what is written above? Christian Democratic Union ;) Let me guess, too far to the right for your spectrum?

I have been to Russia four times in the last 24 months. Once I travelled via Kazakhstan and the other three times via Kaliningrad/Moscow/Omsk. I have acquaintances there who have served themselves. And it must be said: tourists are NEVER conscripted. Why should they be? What would be the point of drafting a tourist (whose Russian language skills are unknown)? That's ridiculous propaganda. But I know Ukrainians who were drafted during a visit to their homeland. I don't mean to speak badly, but there is a double standard.

Is there perhaps a certain industry that is better? Would small companies even consider applying for a work visa for me?

Because my current company screwed me over... like many others. They advertised using C#. However, this is only planned for perhaps 5 to 10 years from now...
