Well, you pay a lot of taxes. But still, everything is cheaper so you won't notice. Rule of thumb = America good if you're rich, have no kids. Germany opposite.

What's that even supposed to mean?
How bad are the taxes in Germany in terms of their impact in your day to day life.
In fact, they have even less impact on your day-to-day life, because you don't see them. It's not like in the US, where you think you're going to pay $1 and then they tell you at the cashier, oh no, it's $1.06, did you forget sales taxes?

I'm looking at a private sector gig in Frankfurt. American by birth but fluent in german so language is not an issue.You get taxed a lot, but if your gross is reasonably large (like over 60k a year) you can live reasonably OK even with a family. Big American community. If you speak German, no issue in finding a reasonable well paying job in private sector. Especially if you're happy to go to Deloitte or similar.
