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 High quality food is cheaper in Europe no doubt. But food budget is generally a small portion of your overall budget. Also it's not like there is nothing in between Walmart and Wholefoods. Overall I find grocery shopping a much more pleasant experience in the US. Ethnic food quality and variety is superior in the US, too. Lots of profs drive BMW, so bad quality cars? Don't think so. And yeah your houses have walls that stand in 500 years time, but who cares. I did the calc once: everything above 200 K outside big cities beats a German prof salary. So yes you have to earn much more in the US, but you are exaggerating it with your 500 K. Finally, most high talent non Germans in the world prefer the US over German professorships, so maybe just maybe quality of life is better from a certain point on.
