Everyone is living a much better life in the Netherlands than people in the US. I have lived in both places.
If the taxes bug you just make sure you are a highly skilled migrant and you will be taxed at about your US rate.
My equity situation is not representative and there have been changes recently, so I have no idea what the initial grant would be now.
For eng culture:
#1 Uber & DataBricks
(...)
#42 Booking (see the CTO they hired after 1.5 years of intense search and his track record https://www.teamblind.com/article/Thoughts-on-Matt-Swann-as-CTO-8ANmOTPa )
For scale/impact per eng
#1 Uber
#2 Booking
#3 Databricks
For TC
#1 Uber (high base & meaningful equity with an undervalued stock price - stock issues at 62B valuation)
#2 DataBricks (good base and high options equity but one that’s hard to validate its value and unclear if/when they’ll IPO. Also, exercising options will take up most your salary as their strike price is quite high (see eg https://www.teamblind.com/article/Databricks-offer-eval-zsmUvVhB)
#3 Booking. Similar both a bit lower base than both before and close to no stock.
