Hello folks, I've been offered a job for €2,100 net and I was wondering if it this was considered a good salary in the Netherlands. Note that the job is not in Amsterdam but in a city located in the province of North Brabant.
Can anyone give me a breakdown of typical monthly expenses in the Netherlands? Say you buy your groceries in a cheap supermarket (Lidl, Aldi), go out every other weekend, health insurance, public transport, and pay €400 for a room, how much do you reckon it would be left with a salary of €2,200?
How much do you guys spend for weekly groceries and public transport?
The € comes after the value. -your friendly neighborhood autist

Oi, contribute or fuck off

No. I've had enough of your shitty systems and having to change my codes just because you think it's cooler to have the currency in the front. Fuck you.
Thanks for that, looks like it's a little bit less than the average wage.

This is average. You won't have budget problems.

I've noticed that living standards in western Europe must have deteriorated recently. 2100 eur doesn't seem like a good salary even in Warsaw, not to mention the Netherlands and I'm surprised you (I assume you're British) were offered to get paid such pittance money.
White collars (I guess OP is one if he's offered a relocation, I doubt a British plumber would think of moving abroad) make such money in big cities here I pretty much all professions, not only IT. Banking, law, audit and all kinds of corpo-jobs pay such money as average nowadays

Your people work here for 10/hour though. Which I'm happy with by the way. I really like Poles, i prefer working with them compared to some dutch colleagues. That said, why do all polish males have the same haircut?

This 2000 eur in moscow is lower middle class

These are blue collars and I doubt OP is one so there's no point to compare them.

We're almost all prone to balding. I'm 25 and already 5a at the Norwood scale so I obviously shave my head and it's pretty common here. Balding is as common as the potato face among Poles.
Doesn't matter. Any job a native British could even consider to go for in the Netherlands should pay at least 4k and if I were an employer I wouldn't dare to offer anything less for a western European not to get laughed at me. But if such laughable wages are offered and people seriously consider taking such jobs I can only conclude that there's something wrong with the west.
It's ugly like your mom, doesn't matter if it's perfect according to some heraldic rules

Try to tell an American that you decided to move abroad for mere ~30k USD per year, he'll literally laugh his head off. Thats less than Mcjobs in the US pay first grade students.
The EU is a joke.
