Actually salaries have increased significantly in the past 2 years. A senior dev can easily learn up to 120-130K pa.

If thats enough to buy you the lifestyle of an office worker in Berlin or Rome, I don’t know. The real issue is cost of property and childcare, especially if you have a child, because you can’t live in a cramped 60sqm apartment nor you can spend 4 hours a day commuting. You can easily end up spending 6K a month just to put a roof over your head and send you child to nursery. 6K per month is ~120K gross.
