How much is Optiver paying in Amsterdam to SWEs? I have a recruiter nagging me to apply, but since it's Europe I assume pay is so-so. Even if the pay is great, would i just be locking myself in golden handcuffs there? How's the rest of tech scene in AMS paying?
Optiver is paying similar to Uber, so both quite high for Amsterdam standards, but low for SF
How about sharing some numbers for Uber, Optiver, Databricks, booking.com and others for your level in Amsterdam?
Booking can pay up to 110k base for senior, 20 percent bonus and 40k usd stock refreshers , but sign on is peanuts
And work is dog shit
Databricks can pay around 150k in total TC including bonus and RSUs for SWE not senior
Current fresh grad pay is ~145k (75k fixed, 25k joining, 37k variable, ~8k relocation)
All in Euro btw. Not USD.
Go for Uber in Amsterdam or databricks
