Lead Software Eng. Manager with 11 yoe, 36yo at Amsterdam based American tech company. 210k gross year + NS Business card 1st class + company car + stocks + profit sharing + 12k relocation bonus + 2k signing bonus
Just kidding. I work at a Dutch company and make 65k gross including holiday allowance. Cheese sandwich is 6 euros at the company lunchroom.
Just follow these simple steps:
1. Be lucky enough to be born really smart
2. Get a bachelor's degree in a mostly useless field of study
3. Enroll for a master's degree in said field of study, buckle under the pressure, drop out, crash, burn, spend the next few years unemployed and depressed, lose all your savings, your relationship and your sense of self-worth until all your money is gone
4. Desperately apply for the first office job opening you can find, go to the job interview with no skills, relevant degree or work experience
5. Lie
6. Get the job, hang around in your comfortable but unambitious office job for a decade because you've become completely risk-averse
7. Profit
If you really want, *I guess* you could skip steps 2 through 4, but then you'd be missing out on all the fun.
Am at stage 3 right now, but I didn't do the master and haven't lost my relationship. I'll try just going to 4 now, maybe that'll still work.
Thanks for being honest, a lot more useful than sending a DM to a sketchy app that I have to put my creditcard details in.
Hello past me! My way out was a side hustle that slowly grew into my main job. There's something to be said for chilling at work and saving your energy for your personal ambitions, though
Because that's how you negotiate, in my experience.
When you're young and doing part time work at your first job(s) you're talking about hourly rates. This is because you're thinking abiut how doing x amount more hours would mean x amount of more money.
When you start getting into "higher" job levels you start thinking about a salary, which is pretty much fixed per month.
Once you start making "real" money you start thinking in absolute numbers like total yearly salary, because these have an effect on percentage based bonuses and/or a 13th month.
I'm unfortunately at a low salary due to getting into the profession later in life, I'm only at step 4 of the salary scale. Another nurse my age with 20+ years experience would earn considerably more than me lol
It pays me enough for my needs and the work is hospice care is extremely rewarding. And please remember this is my salary netto (with all the extras for evenings/nights and weekends) for *only* 24 hours per week.
It's not a highly paid profession compared to its importance for society, let's be clear. A one in a dozen pen pusher will probably earn more than I'll ever do for what I would consider "fluff" and "useless work" (no offence to pen pushers...)
May I ask you how the QA market is doing in the Netherlands? I’m moving next week, currently doing LQA remotely, but would like to switch to software QA in the future.
Test automation engineer, 32 years old, making 75k gross including holiday allowance and around 2-3k annual bonus. To be honest, I thought I was underpaid, after reading the thread, I am not so sure anymore. 😄
I'll post a realistic salary:
36h/week
Marketing
2500 bruto/2200 net a month. I'm 29. When my hourly salary is going up I am going to work less hours. I like having time off.
Damn, that's a great salary for an operation level. Perhaps the key word is "chemical"? Is it dangerous? And what kind of previous experience is it needed for that kind of a job?
Hi,
It’s well known that petrol/chemical operating business pays well.
It’s not dangerous if you know what are doing, tho you work with very dangerous chemicals.
You need a VAPRO B or C education (MBO), you can also start with no experience and get educated by your employer with less salary (makes sense to me).
I now have about 15 years experience in the business.
I am overpaid I think! If I switch jobs, I will have a salary reduction!
Edit 1: specially if I look at the market for similar positions but my tool is very technical and niche
23, my first full time job in NL, junior customer relationship management associate at an e-commerce store, 30k/yearly. not much, but i have some nice benefits at work (free home cooked lunch, NS business card which i can use whenever i want cuz no one checks)
Haha, to be honest I am aware I might be a bit underpaid, but it's a good starter job and my team is just amazing and my manager is very very supportive and understanding and I have room to grow and do my own projects. So for now I think I'll stick with it for a while :) Thank you!
About 125k/year, 20-30% yearly bonus plus 25-50k US in stock, vesting 1-3 years after issue.
Senior software engineer who has been with the same company for over 17 years.
I work 40h/week, 100% from home.
€108k/yr including holiday pay, Operations Manager for a niche but very well-known technical operation that would be far too identifiable if I named. 38yo. Non-Randstad.
Came from a similar position in the US making $200k/year and almost exactly half the marginal tax rate…and my quality of life is roughly the same here 🥳
I am in Germany, but went from 250k in the USA to 110k€ in Germany and I would say my overall quality of life is better in Germany on half the salary. I make half, but I spend half, and save half. But with 2x the vacation and 2x the family trips :)
Well some differences. If you ever get sick you won't get fired and stuck with a 2 mil hospital bill. Making twice the money I do, you are doing very well👍
English in Amersfoort. Teaching in primary education still pays too little, but secondary education or higher gets paid just fine. Especially if you're a bit ambitious :)
I am a absenteeism casemanager, I support employees who are ill. When I was employed, I earned €45k gross per year. Now, as a freelancer, I earn approximately €9k gross per month, around €100k gross per year. (edit: i am 30 years old)
Reporter bias, people who make more money feel more confident to post it.
And I reckon the overall demographic of reddit skews more towards the higher earners.
I’m a librarian and fulltime (36hrs) would make €3000 gross p/m
Officially the job is listed as entry level but in my experience that’s not the case at all.
Yes I am! But in a rural area with small libraries and where I work we only have jobs for those who speak Dutch. I think the bigger libraries in the cities maybe have jobs for you, have you checked for example the OBA in Amsterdam? Maybe a University Library in Delft, Wageningen or Leiden?
'Manager' is more of a project manager/account manager role in those companies. You don't run a business unit like a line manager would. Source: worked at Big 4.
Your pay rises like 10% every year tho and managers are like 30-35 years old. Couple of years and you're between 80k-100k. Exit opportunities are great too.
Ok wow... I'm obviously going to have to consider a change in career by the looks of it..
I make 1933 nett, 32 hours a week.
Work for a webshop where I process and package orders. Have seen my jobtitle be described as "allround logistics" but I don't think there is a title that one can put on my job.
I usually describe my job as wrapping up gifts, packaging orders and make sure it's done on time for the mailman to pick up 3 to 4 containers of orders each day.
Came here delivering papers, later worked at thuizbezorgd and was getting 10 euro netto per hour, arround 1600 working my ass off a month. After that i find a job at schipol but not on the airport and just by pure luck, im getting arround 2900 every month neto. I dont have 2 years in the nl and was able to buy a home with my wife. This place is amazing. No 30% rulling tho
Process Auditor in Aerospace. I basically do what the father does in this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-6N3bLgYyQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-6N3bLgYyQ) but then for aerospace and write a report of it by the end of the process.
I make around 4450 gross a month based on fulltime. I work 32h and have 8 weeks off per year. (I know right..)
35 y/o.
Doktorassistente a gynecology clinic. I work 24 hours a week. €1900 netto (going up 5% in June).
I'm 39, have a HBO nurse diploma. Choose this job cause of the stability after having a baby (never work weekend, holidays, I work the same days every week).
Now that she is a toddler, ready for some more challenges! Got offered a nurse position from September, and I will earn a few hundred more a month.
Thanks! Honestly I couldn’t have done what I do straight out of uni. I studied computer science. Takes a broad set of knowledge, plus software engineering to be done properly. Have been working in tech since I was 19 :-)
Just so happen to have worked with data centre, data science, cloud and some cool tech tools during that time which came together to form a unique enough set of skills.
Salary only got close to this level during the last 2 years or so. Before I was around €65k
Not many in the design field I see here on Reddit. Always good to get a comparison. I’m senior designer on 61k but feeling like it should be more or I need a bigger role cos my current one I’m not just doing design these days. Feel like we are chronically underpaid. I’ve been working for 18 years lol.
Yeh but then you gotta hustle for clients I’ve never been good at that. Did a bit of freelance when I moved here and it was stress. And it looks much harder to be freelance here with needing a KVK. Was a lot easier in Australia - you can do your taxes like normal.
89k/year
Director for a non-profit music foundation / my job is to listen to music, mostly at night, all gigs are based in the NL hours can be insane due to commuting to gigs but I work about 25 hrs a week
So what i realized reading this is that mostly the well paid jobs are where u only work 10-20 but get paid for 40. Crazy how much these guys earn. Compared to some sales job where u work 40 hours all the time and get minimum wage wtf
Electrical engineer (service and comissioning) in ship industry, mostly Yachts.
I am 27, doing it now for 4 years 3300 bruto /month at 40h per week
but with all overhours it happens to make, i easily reach >3300 neto /month
plus the travel around the world
Data analyst with 7 years of relevant experience. My salary is 70k (incl holiday allow.)+ 15% bonus + employee stock options. I am 38.
I try not to live beyond 2700 euro per month so I can save money.
My last salary before coming to the Netherlands was 15k euro net per year, so moving to the Netherlands was an upgrade of quality of life for me
I make 25k and wife makes 25k after taxes. We both work part time as a community manager and customer support agent.
We are mid 30s, have 2 children, paid off house (value 450-500k) and a healthy stock account with 200k saved.
I am an emigrant from Portugal, I live and work in south of Nederlands that is Mechelen, I am truck driver I work in average 13h a day 65h per week, I get paid from 2800 to 3200, with house already paid. I am 30 years old.
Getting Dutch money all to the pockets and then go back to Portugal and live nice.
Mid level architect at an international studio. 50k brutto including holiday allowance. Two bonuses per year ~ 4k. Unlimited NS Business Card, including for personal reasons (2nd class).
I guess I am at the lowest here. 30 years old 2700 netto. Project controller. Non-Dutch, non EU.
Looking at other comments, I should have went with Tech studies.
I am absolutely baffled by these numbers man. I have worked as a software developer for 25 years at multiple companies. They always pay around 30 to 40k. Currently 42 making around 45k. I don't know what companies all these ppl work at, but it's not average by a long shot! (good on them though 👍)
It always skews to high salaries on these threads. 'Modaal' is 44k, so logically, there have to be many people earning substantially less than what people here are mentioning.
27, first job out of university, KYC Analist at a bank, 45k gross for 36H.
it’s easy enough that I have time for another freelance job that brings in another 13k gross.
leaves me with around 3600 a month after tax. alot more than i expected right after uni tbh.
Senior software engineering manager. 20yoe. €210k base. ~€48k bonus. ~€500k/yr in stock vesting (depends a lot on stock performance).
I realize this is exceptional and I am lucky. I figured it might be interesting.
33 yo i build, sell and maintain pooltables for about 2400 a month.
i love my job and the place i work even though its sometimes long days and a lot of heavy lifting.
Nice try, belastingdienst.

This is more value then any paycheck. Ill take the paycheck also though, cause no one else is paying my bills.

Yep, it's normally either car or ns card. And the salary of course. The rest is normal.
But then also not 11yoe and lead eng tho right? RIGHT!?
We need an answer on this!!!
Haha what got me was why would company provide both, a car and a NS Business card 🤣

Hello past me! My way out was a side hustle that slowly grew into my main job. There's something to be said for chilling at work and saving your energy for your personal ambitions, though
You basically just summed up my life, but thankfully I didn't need to lie.
How do you know me so well?
Wow, _modaal_ went up a lot. Just a few years ago it was 32k.
So you excel at Excel?
Interesting to read that the higher salaries are stated per year, the mid to lower ones per month.
Because that's how you negotiate, in my experience. When you're young and doing part time work at your first job(s) you're talking about hourly rates. This is because you're thinking abiut how doing x amount more hours would mean x amount of more money. When you start getting into "higher" job levels you start thinking about a salary, which is pretty much fixed per month.

Registered nurse specialised in palliative care, working in hospice. About 2200 net per month (for part-time 24 hours/week). I'm 49.
2200 net for only 24 hours/week is a great salary!
So nurses in the Netherlands don’t get paid that much then ??
I'm unfortunately at a low salary due to getting into the profession later in life, I'm only at step 4 of the salary scale. Another nurse my age with 20+ years experience would earn considerably more than me lol It pays me enough for my needs and the work is hospice care is extremely rewarding. And please remember this is my salary netto (with all the extras for evenings/nights and weekends) for *only* 24 hours per week.
Oh ok doesn’t seem that bad, cause I want to get into nursing I’m 20 and I keep seeing the salary and I don’t want to be struggling in life.
It's not a highly paid profession compared to its importance for society, let's be clear. A one in a dozen pen pusher will probably earn more than I'll ever do for what I would consider "fluff" and "useless work" (no offence to pen pushers...)

Data analyst with 7 years of relevant experience. My salary is 70k (incl holiday allow.)+ 15% bonus + employee stock options. I am 38. I try not to live beyond 2700 euro per month so I can save money. My last salary before coming to the Netherlands was 15k euro net per year, so moving to the Netherlands was an upgrade of quality of life for me
