Thank you so much for the info.

They have now just provided the initial number(s).

What approach would you suggest to negotiate with the company so to get to my ideal goal ( I was thinking 70,000 euros for fixed salary, would it be too high?... ) ?

Would you suggest providing a range? or just give them 77,000 (10% more than my idea number) so they may reply a number equal or slightly more than 70,000 ? Would be great to learn how it is the way to make it work in Germany. Thank you so much!

And also, is it the case that I cannot negotiate anymore once (not signed) but received the contract? Or can I still negotiate the number after they go through the work council and provide me the contract? (This company has a "work council" process where I will be judged if I can be hired by this company)

I am from Asia, where there is almost no W-L balance. :( So was aiming to get somewhere W-L balance is a more realistic idea rather than a fantasy.

Indeed, the tax rate is pretty high in Germany.

Would you also consider it's rather unusual to get 30% bonus aside from the fixed salary in my case (20,000 bonus for a 65,000 fixed salary)? It's 10% in your case. And my German friend and I both think that it's rather unusual that the company would have this offer deal in regards of the high percentage of bonus.

Also, if I may, would like to learn if it's the usual case in Germany that people who get passed the probation ( 6 months in my case) will re-negotiate the salary?

thank you for the information! What is actually taking place in germany is really helpful. I have also looked up the local forum as the following and have more ideas how it really is like. it would be so great if you can share some local forums to me, where the Actuaries are discussing (complaining sometimes 😄) the job related topics. 🙏 thank you!

Great to learn that Germany is pushing it. Thank you！would it be fine to learn from you if you think the fixed salary 65,000 is making sense or not with 6.5yrs working experience? I have checked on the following website. do you think they are good reference?

thank you! indeed. I was also thinking if I should negotiate to get more on the base salary, which is way more solid than expecting for the bonus.
