At 70k annual salary, you will have a comfortable life in any part of Germany . While Munich and Stuttgart are relatively expensive compared to rest of Germany, its not close to the costs of a global city (London, Paris, Amsterdam etc).

It is a salary that comfortably puts you in the top third of earners in Berlin . You won’t quite be able to afford a positively huge flat wherever you’d like, but a normal-sized one pretty much anywhere, or a rather large one in all but the most expensive areas will be comfortably within reach.
