What moves salary up or down?
Fast checklist before accepting an offer
Tarif agreement
A Tarif company can change the real value of the offer through salary groups, bonuses, working time, holiday pay or Christmas pay.
Shift work
Shifts can increase total pay, but also affect family life, fatigue and relocation quality. Check Zuschläge clearly.
Region and rent
3,900 € gross in a cheaper area is not the same as 3,900 € gross in Munich, Hamburg, Stuttgart or Frankfurt.
German level
Better German can open roles with production communication, documentation, safety rules and team responsibility.
Automation exposure
Automated production systems, PLC-related diagnosis, sensors, actuators and robotics usually improve positioning.
Contract details
Salary is only one part. Check weekly hours, probation period, overtime, relocation support and accommodation.
