I got an offer from eBay Amsterdam location Base - 85K € Bonus - 10% RSU - 40K I am a citizen of India. How is this offer ? Will they give any sign-on bonus or any other attractive benefits ?? Is this salary good for a family of 4 ? (Currently saving 2000$ per month after all expenses in Bay Area). How costly is international schooling ? Your thoughts?
Long wait for green card in US and lot of uncertainty. Also fed up the rat race here in Bay Area
Solid offer.Take it
Unless you have two income earners, how are you saving $2K a month ?
One person earning. I am considering 401k money also after tax since LinkedIn got a very nice 401k plan
Why not try for Uber ? They'll pay more in Amsterdam
Yoe? Im not particularly familiar with Amsterdam but it looks really good for mid career, good for senior.
Sounds like a senior offer in Amsterdam.
Excellent offer.
Good offer for a Senior, insane offer for a core dev.
This is for a mid Manager role ..
Before making a decision, - check the prices in the area where you want to rent/own. - if u r planning to have kids and raise them when you are in Amsterdam, check the cost of education based on where you would send your kids. If this is not the case for next 5 to 6 years skip this step. - check if you would like the community where you will live. - having friends around would really help, do you have friends there or can you find good friends I don’t think you will find realistic answers based on your needs in Blind, but you may find the answers you are looking for. I’ve been to Amsterdam once as a tourist. It is a beautiful city with high cost of living(hotels and food). That is my perception based on few days of staying there. Not an advice: It is completely your choice to be in the rat race or not and the location need not be the first choice to decide that. Good luck!
Thank you for the long and valuable note. I have 2 kids and I know international schools will be really expensive also rent is the range of 1700-2200$ in good areas. I am leaning towards current place, will wait for a better opportunity.
The base would be similar for an L4 at Uber in Amsterdam, but the stock a lot higher, with a nice potential upside thanks to the IPO coming. As an eng manager, you’d get a bit shy than double the TC here. Manager starts at L5 and L5 TC would be around EUR 170K (not sure if higher for managers). Have you interviewed with us?
why do you want to go to Amsterdam
