Had an interview with booking.com and they said the contract is 12 months first according to Dutch law. Now, I don't know Dutch law but I don't think any EU country would have such a senseless law. Anyone knowledgable in this? Yoe: 2 yrs Tc: 🥜
this is pure bs
They forgot to mention that this is law that makes kicking you out hard so they give you temp contract to be safe rofl On a serious note this is common practice in NL I think
They contacted me for a FTE position in some other country. Their pay is low for any country they are operating. So, you are not losing anything by ignoring them.
I disagree. Booking.com has one of the highest salaries in Europe TC €160k
€160k 😂
The salary proposed was not bad, but the definite contract and the fact that they lied by saying "according to Dutch law" when they could have been transparent is a turn off.
A lot of recruiters got laid off last year and now there are a lot of new recruiters who don't know the law themselves. It's a red flag if a manager said it thoifjy
This is like a probationary offer.
The government prefers permanent contracts from the get go. Companies do whatever they want. They can go with a 1 year renewable as a first offer. It can be turned into permanent any time afaik.
What's the offer?
For which role? For software engineer roles, company offers permanent contract.
Was it a junior dev or graduate dev position? In that case they might offer 12 months contract.
bs, they can also offer a permanent contract
That's what I thought. Thanks 😊
