in Germany, beginners in Industries ( after complete studies incl. Phd) can expect in the ballpark of 48,000 Euro /a (approx 64 K US-$ ) before taxes, health insurance , social insurance, annuity assurance ... (which are mandatory here). This will take another approx. 40 % off if you're not married.
net income hence would be like approx 29 K Euro (approx 38 K US-$), with above insurances as "benefit"
