Hi Fishes,

What is the average salary in Germany for SAP Integration Architect with 11 Years of Experience

I have a return offer from a big 4! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience as an intern and have no complaints. Would love to go back.

However, a bit confused if I should try and recruit with MBB’s or if I should accept the big 4 offer already and take the sign on bonus?

Would it be a blunder to NOT try recruiting with MBB’s ? Besides the monetary aspect, what are the other things I’d have to think about?

The last two years have significantly changed my local market and the less-than-inflation federal pay raises are not cutting it.

I am aware of the Quality Step Increase, but I don't think that's the solution here.
