4I posted an answer in the hope that it may help you, but I also voted to close this question because it is nearly impossible to answer clearly (see answer)– LouicCommented Aug 24, 2021 at 16:25

1What you write could also be written about an R1 in the US. It sounds familiar.– BuffyCommented Aug 24, 2021 at 18:34

3The answers below give some very clear information, which is much appreciated! The point where I am coming from is reading news websites in both The Netherlands and the UK, where in my experience problems in academia (amongst faculty) gets vastly more attention in The Netherlands compared to the UK. But I am genuinely positively surprised with the experiences shared below, and they also give me a good handle on what to discuss with a potential future employer.– Frank A.Commented Aug 24, 2021 at 18:54

2@looktook Comparing US and Dutch salaries means to compare apples and oranges, since both countries have very different costs of living. By European standards, the Netherlands pay well (with the exception of PhD students, whose pay is really not that great).– lighthouse keeperCommented Aug 25, 2021 at 6:32

1@Discretelizard 2.4K€ entry salary is not catastrophic, but not great either. My personal reference points are Germany and Sweden. In Germany, the entry salary is around 4K€ (assuming a full-time position, the chances for which are admittedly field-specific). In Sweden, it's around 3K€. The Netherlands also have the highest taxes of these three (although all three are in the same ballpark).– lighthouse keeperCommented Aug 25, 2021 at 14:48

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
