    E12 starts at 4.170,32 € gross and up to rises 6.516,74 € depending on experience. That is gross. That is for a job, which is low stress and you can not be fired unless you pretty much commit a crime on the workplace.

      Maybe government IT in Germany is low stress. Maybe the average in my country is also. But my department surely isn’t low stress. Could be because I work at a research institute that has been leading the charge into public cloud?

        There’s also the possibility that the definition of stress differs. I’m in an IT position where I control most of my schedule and pace of work, I work at home without much supervision, and I’m very much a trusted employee. That means I have less body stress and other stresses than a large amount of people, but at the end of the day my mental stress can still give me headaches and wear me out (and of course real life stresses. I’m paid pretty well for the company I work at, but it’s still kinda low to be supporting myself and a family member still trying to find employment).
