In netherlands, you can earn a comfortable 130k.
- ChuckNorris89 5y agoIs that 130k rally that comfortable to get in the Netherlands? Since most local dutch companies pay around 50k with salaries of 130k coming only from US companies in Amsterdam like Uber which have the same brutal leet-code practices from SV that grandparent said aren't necessarily. If all devs in the Netherlands could get 130k so comfortably then how would those Dutch companies paying only 50k still survive and not go bust?
- debarshri 5y agoHow about working as a contractor earning 75 euros per hour?
- ChuckNorris89 5y agoThat didn't answer my question.
- debarshri 5y agoThere are multiple reason why they might survive. There market might be local, which many of the companies from US do not serve. What I have also seen, companies that pay low hire people with non-cs background, people looking for career change, people without experience but with motivation. When I said comfortable, in this context it meant. A job that pays 130k and still is not stressful and you can have a comfortable lifestyle. I did not mean that you can easily get a 130k job.
- alangibson 5y agoCan cite a position and/or company? Netherlands does better than most, but my understanding is that 130K would be exceptional anywhere in Europe unless you're some sort of highly specialized contractor.
- debarshri 5y agoThere are silicon valley companies like uber and other heres. Theres also booking.com and ikea. Lot of scale up in Netherlands who have raised series B. Most of the high paying opportunities are in Amsterdam. Also, not many local companies pay alot. They generally cap around 80-90k.
