  "account": "In Germany, questions surrounding salary are of utmost importance for employees. They wonder about their earnings, how much they should demand in annual discussions, and when a change in job might financially be beneficial. A person's income is a sensitive topic in the country, despite companies having to disclose average salaries in job ads since June. However, only about 16 percent of German employers currently do this on the job platform Indeed. In contrast, the UK and France have rates of around 70 and 35 percent respectively. Money is often the primary reason listed for an employee to switch jobs, according to a study by the staffing firm Randstad. To promote transparency, annual salary report is published by Stepstone job platform, comparing data from 1.3 million salary records to determine in which industries or professions Germans earn the most. This report provides readers with an evaluation of their salary in comparison to others, and whether they might potentially earn more.",
