Seriously 2.5k? Like the equivalent of 2500 US dollars (since Euros are at near 1:1 parity right now)? I looked it up and apparently the average salary in the Netherlands is 36.5k Euros. How is a principal SE making 20% of the average salary in the Netherlands?
I know some countries use decimals like commas are used in the US, so maybe that's actually 25000 and 60000, which would make more sense.
- dasil003 4y agoGP is talking monthly salary.
- fatuna 4y agoThey meant per month. In NL we tend to discuss salaries per month. This excludes the mandatory "vacantion bonus", which is about a months salary. 2500 * 13 makes 32500 a year. So not far off from your figures.
- cableshaft 4y agoAh okay. Didn't occur to me it could be a monthly figure. Thanks for the clarification.
- wizofaus 4y agoThat still seems incredibly low for a software dev salary, or indeed any salary (the minimum wage in Australia is not far off the equivalent of 15€ an hour, which is pretty close to 2500€ a month isn't it? Accepted the cost of living is higher here but I don't remember things being that cheap in that part of the world when I was there a few years back).
