      The numbers I quoted are just base salary. So holiday pay and everything else is extra.

      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.

      Or you have 5 children, then you also will be taxed as in US. What do u mean by much better life? Bad climate and bad sandwich-based food don't sound like better life. Maybe Dutch girls are super beautiful, hmm not the hottest. What else? Ahhhh you want 1.5 months of vacations, it explains

    Uber Amsterdam Senior Software Engineer base salary is around 100k EUR. Equity on top of that. As an expat in NL you get a nice tax bonus too.

    I know multiple people working at most of these companies except for Syntax.

    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.

    You can have one of the top qualities of life in the world in Amsterdam with 60k+. Of course you'll have a lot more take home in the states but your life will not be idyllic
