Main perks of the job are an interesting and non-stressful environment. You learn new things everyday and have a lot of fun doing science stuff.

Problems are 1) my brutto would be 1k higher with a master degree and 2) a lack of financial benefits.

I wonder how similar positions (tech, associate scientist) would compare in industry with a bachelor degree.
