I did some investigation on the salary of tech employees working for Cologne city. It seems that the salary for IT employees are quite low. This may not be a fair representation of the whole Germany. But Cologne is one of the most digitized cities in Germany. So I would guess it should be a fair example.

For example, a data manager is among the salary group 11 (net from 2144EUR to 2993EUR)

This is the job description:

> - You shouldn’t probably block ocsp.apple.com with Little Snitch or in your hosts file.
