The 2016 German Digital Market Roundup & Salary Survey

Insights into the German market in 2016 and a full digital salary benchmark…

German Digital Market

As such, the job market in Berlin has become an interesting cross-section of skills, and the demand for talent of different but overlapping disciplines has led to increasing mobility for candidates from all sorts of backgrounds (e.g. agencies, brands, corporates etc.) to switch into newer environments (e.g. startups, consulting firms) and vice versa. Berlin’s diverse and international workforce are adding real value to organisations based here, and opportunities are constantly opening up for candidates across Europe and further afield looking to progress their careers in the German capital.

We have collated a salary benchmark of the digital market in Germany for 2016/2017. Remember, any salary listed on a job spec or on our benchmark is negotiable. There are a number of variables to take into account from skill set to type and size of company, number of years’ service, but also on time spent working in Berlin and on regional projects.
