> PhD: I wish I could get my time back. I would be comfortably retired by now. 4 or 5 years industry experience working for a FAANG gives you a >USD250K/year advantage in the US (plus 4/5 years of being in a highly paid position). The only way you can compensate for this is if you get a PhD is a super relevant area that happens to be exactly what they are looking for (rare nowadays).
maybe in the US, OP is in Germany which is a diff ballgame salarywise
