In the past year, the wage gap amongst female and male employers is getting smaller. The salary difference is currently declining, and might finish disappearing.

According to the report Loonwijzer en Monsterboard, (Wage and Monsterboard), which provides an annual insight into wage developments in the Netherlands, the female gross earnings remain unchanged at € 13.86 per hour, however the man gross earnings has decline from € 15.19 to € 14.72 per hour.

This decrease means that the wage gap of 5.8% (€ 0.86 per hour) is more than three percent less than the year before and will continues to decline further. Also in 2013, the gross hourly wages fell by 5.8 %.

Nevertheless, the wage gap between men and women in the financial sector and the legal sector is still huge. In the financial sector, the gap has grown from 8.4% to 13.9%. In the legal sector the wages has grown from 8.3% to 11.3%.

The pay gap between men and women has existed for decades and now in the other sectors, the gap is significantly disappearing.

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.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

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

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

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".
