I moved to Amsterdam after working in the Bay Area for 10 years, I was able to negotiate 70% of my old salary with some stock options/bonus. Now I have the best of both worlds, working towards a permanent residency, paying much much less CoL and enjoying traveling Europe with my wife.
- michaelteter 2y agoYou were either underpaid in CA or have negotiated an unusually high salary for NL. Finding an NL salary over 100k EUR is exceedingly difficult unless you are C level (or middle management, which is grossly overpaid for the value they provide).
- GaryNumanVevo 2y agoMy TC is 200k EUR and I'm a senior engineer with 7 YOE. I didn't find it particularly difficult to negotiate, I sent them my old offer letter and told them how much I thought was fair. They also included a full white-glove relocation of my family and house overseas which was nice. For talented engineers, it's definitely possible!
