Is it normal in Germany to go 3 years without a real raise?
Hey everyone,
I wanted to get some perspective on a situation.
I’ve been working at the same company for about 7 years now, and over the last 3 years there hasn’t really been any meaningful salary increase, mostly small adjustments (around 3–4%), and once I even increased my working hours but didn’t feel like my actual compensation improved much.
Recently I asked again for a raise and was told there’s “no budget this year”. This is now the third year I’ve heard the same thing.
So I’m wondering:
Is this normal in Germany, especially in more traditional companies? How often do you usually see real salary increases?
I’m also thinking about starting a small side activity (Nebengewerbe) next to my full-time job:
Is that common or recommended?
Any tips or experiences with doing freelance work on the side?
What are realistic ways to make an extra \~10k/year?
Would really appreciate your insights 🙏
