I have total 7 years of dev+DS experience and have ambitions to break into 100k+ salary range in coming year. Should I must move into management role for this?

#2I suspect that the only companies with this kind of salary in the EU are Palantir and trading companies (e.g. Jane Street).
So, it kind of depends on what you're willing to do for money. I'm personally not quite enthusiastic at the idea of working for either.

#4That level of salary... well I'd say you gotta sell your soul and head off into banking or into a role as consultant somewhere, but no way for ordinary devs, even in Germany. For what it's worth I know directors of 300+ employee companies that don't crack the 100k.
Alternatively try to land a remote job for some Valley-based or other VC backed company, but beware of the tax and legal implications of doing so.

#7Migrate to Switzerland :) Salaries there are much higher than rest of the Europe but living there is more expensive too.

#8If the salary is all you are after and do not mind the culture shock, did you look into relocating to Switzerland?

Don't be a crab in the bucket. If you're going to get angry at people having more money than you (perhaps rightly) feel they deserve, get angry at the ruling class who casually rake in millions, not at the better-paid of their servants.

1) Theses stats are false and quantifying wealth is crazy difficult
2) It's not about deserving but about /convincing/ someone to exchange your labour for this amount of money
