I was making 75k (63 with bonuses), he was making about 38k (depending

doing business. The cost of actually hiring an employee in Germany is
immense, it takes approximately 6 months to a year to hire someone and
longer to let someone go.
Perhaps this is why German stuff tends to be better engineered
