As someone living and working as a senior software developer in Germany and on top of that currently involved in a client's hiring process, I say these numbers are completely realistic. Experienced developers are asking 90k at least, I've seen juniors with 2-3 years of experience state their current salary at 75k. For a senior software developer to earn 60k, you'd have to either be living in an extremely rural area or be blindly loyal to an employer. Talking about managers, I don't think anyone above team leader would accept a 100k offer right now.
