| Aug 25, 2021 at 14:48 | comment | added | lighthouse keeper | @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). | |
| Aug 25, 2021 at 14:32 | comment | added | Discrete lizard | @lighthousekeeper Is the pay for PhD students in the Netherlands really that bad compared to other European countries? I thought that the legal minimum in the CAO (See here, in column P, the rows roughly correspond to the year for PhD students), isn't that bad. I believe that e.g. in France, postdocs are at times paid less than this. | |
| Aug 25, 2021 at 6:32 | comment | added | lighthouse keeper | @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). | |

| Aug 24, 2021 at 18:54 | comment | added | Frank A. | The 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. | |
