Salaries in the US seem really high compared to those in the Netherlands. I have 2 bachelor and 2 master degrees in STEM. I made €10/hour (about $12) giving private math and programming lessons, while I earn roughly €13/hour (about $15) at my entry level job (after tax deduction).
I would expect my salary to grow at my current job. I also feel that I would have been hired at my current job if I just had my bachelor degree.
- Bootvis 9y agoGoing on only those credentials you should be able to get a better paid job, also in the Netherlands (I'm Dutch).
- kutkloon7 9y agoActually, all offers for entry level programming, devops, or IT consultant jobs were 2.5k at 40 hours/week. I have the feeling that a lot of them just hire anyone who graduated in a STEM field, either graduate or undergraduate. Now, I can probably make a more as a financial consultant, but I don't have an interest in this (and the thread is about programmer salaries).
- TheArcane 9y agoWhat would good salaries be for an experienced resarch engineer in software doing specialized work in the Netherlands?
- Bootvis 9y agoIt depends but my ballpark estimate would be around 70k but it depends on many factors. I'd surprised if those skills go for less than 50k.
