> I don't think they pay you that much in Berlin. Why would they? All other companies pay less - no competition what so ever.

There are a small number of FAANG-ish companies who pay very high salaries in Berlin, London, Dublin, etc etc.

(And of course Zurich, but Zurich is Zurich.)

> Paying >100k is already super good, so they do probably around that.

I assure you that they pay more than that for halfway senior roles. Note that a lot of it would be in equity; the base salary would likely be in the 100-150k range, but one might get that again in equity.
