A Starting Professional in The Netherlands Does Not Earn Much

The salaries for young professionals in the Netherlands are lower than in our neighbouring countries. In 2015 the Netherlands took the eighth place in the European rankings, the same position as a year earlier.

With an average salary of 41,300 Euros and 86,085 Euros respectively in 2015, Dutch Young professionals are earning less than in seven other European countries, concludes the latest Global 50 Remuneration Planning Report.

Switzerland Pays Twice as Much

Leader of the list is Switzerland, where young professionals earn on average more than twice as much as their Dutch colleagues. Resource Managers earn nearly half times more. These professionals earn twenty percent more than in country number two. This means that Swiss workers – even after considering their taxes and costs of living – have more buying power than other Europeans.

Belgium and Germany Pay Better

A large climber was the UK, which for young professionals and middle managers held a twelfth and fourth places for basic salaries, where previously in 2014 it was at thirteenth and seventh places.

In the category Young Professionals, the Netherlands is behind Belgium (sixth place) and Germany (fourth place) in 2015.

Total Remuneration Package Counts

“When looking at the total package to what they can offer, Dutch employers therefore do well”, says Cloosterman Hughes. “Non-financial parts of a contract, such as learning and development programs and the ability to work flexibly, are crucial to ensure that companies remain competitive in the labour market”.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
