- mettamage 8y agoThen why isn’t this the case in the US or UK? How are you able to value that. Also all the people were from applied universities (hogeschool). I have been there and have been at normal universities. I feel normal uni people are way better all rounders in terms of thinking, on average (I have seen clear exceptions). Or maybe INHolland had just terribly bad applied uni students. The vu and uva did not (bad, yes, but not terribly bad - at least everyone understood x = y at a normal uni, even the math haters).
- timwaagh 8y agothe UK and the US are different markets. cost of living factors into it, our tax system, the fact that dutch people have some protection from firing, but mostly it is the fact that the heavy hitters like google are not here. So if you want a UK/US salary, go to the UK or US. actually, go to London or San Fran. I council patience. I also council not doing PHP. the salaries are lower for PHP. if you manage to get in at a Java or .Net firm your salary can be raised after a year or two.
