You think of CEO salaries. PhD students and PostDocs earn more (or at least equal) in most of Europe compared to even the US top universities.

Harvard Postdoc salary: $67,600

Germany Postdoc salary: ~$80,000 plus benefits like health insurance

That is hysterical. You know that salaries for most universities are public in Germany? You can just look up your ridiculous lies.

The highest possible salary anyone in the university gets is 96k Euros. That is 64k Euros a year after taxes.

Did you actually read the page you linked??? It supports exactly what I wrote. Just keep in mind that the latest salary data there is for 2022.

The postdoc salaries I quoted are for 2024, of course.

"Most doctoral positions and some postdoc positions will be categorized as TV-L 13, which can range from about €4630 to €6580 (gross monthly salary). The exact salary is determined by your years of experience."

-> €6000*12 -> 72K Euro, ~US$ 80K

And that is without including the various social benefits.

> The highest possible salary anyone in the university gets is 96k Euros.

That is wrong, too. But not the topic of my post.

It is about grant money, not salaries.
