Could someone please shed some light on the negotiation process following the Ruf? What is okay to ask, what is not. Material available online is very vague and general to offer much insight. Danke.

Germany is corrupt
Post Jokes aside, b237, I think you and I can agree in general. And yes, I *am* aware of the salary dynamics in the US. I've lived long enough in both places. But let me add to this. My consumption pattern (I like hi-quality cars, I like buying good food, sometimes organic) makes me compete with the top earners in the US, people with a family income of >500k. To get the same-quality groceries that I get here in Europe in the US, I would end up buying groceries at Whole Foods most of the time (TJ's where available), spending twice as much in groceries each week in the US compared to Europe. But then again, if you have a consumption pattern different from mine (you're fine with buying at Wal-Mart, and like big cheap cars and houses), then of course you're happier with 250k in the US than with 100k in Europe.
