I guess there´s no way to be offered more than 7200€/month before tax because that´s what fully licensed controllers get after their last checkout. Even if add the 1,1 months extra pay per year and about 500€ tax free per month for holidays, nights etc you will come nowhere near 6000€+ after tax in your first year.
As a single I got almost exactly 72.000€ net for 2007, being fully licensed for seven years.
If you´re married the figure should have been around 80.000€....but then it might be worth less than half!
@hermy, I wouldn´t start the training for 3000 a month. You are fully licensed elsewhere and are far more experienced than a new guy fresh from shool, hence you should be worth a little more. Just remember, as a single 3000 a month will be around 1700€ after tax and social security fees, plus maybe 250€ shift allowance. Say you´ll be at 2000€ net...it´s ok, but it´s not plenty!
A two-bedroom appartment will easily cost you around 800€, gas is around 1,50€/litre today. Go to an Italian restaurant and you´ll pay at least 10€ for a pizza and a beer.
I would try to negotiate a better deal, don´t let them forget that other outfits are searching too and offering more!
