Currently working in the States at a T3 firm making 130k with a potential promotion to manager in a year. I just got an offer for 70k in Amsterdam at a Big4. Is that a doable salary for my family of 3?

I think it’s not doable unfortunately.

Most couples work. 70x2 would be decent income but honestly i wouldn't take the pay cut

70k with a family of three is really tight. If your SO works then it's doable.

Net total 4200 euro a month just not possible?

Amsterdam is expensive. 70k isn’t great for living there. I would keep looking for a better offer. Can I ask why you want to move from the states to Amsterdam? Are you dutch and wanting to move home?

Aah alright, thanks!

Look into tax breaks, most european countries have tax breaks for qualified people coming from abroad, the Netherlands certainly had one. 70k without tax breaks is tight but these initiatives are rather generous in general

70k for senior consultants I assume. May be keep trying and try to get a manager role and you can clear 80k. Amsterdam with 70k for 3 people is rough, rent alone is approx 2k in the city and 1.5k in the outskirts.

I am moving laterally into another type of consulting so I don’t have much leverage to get higher than 70. It would be a great career move and we want to experience Europe. So I’m optimistic but wondering how tough it will be for the next 6-12 months until a raise

Need advice! I’m currently interviewing for an account executive role and there’s a couple of red flags that have come up. 1. They aren’t able to tell me when I would have to relocate for the remote role I applied for. 2. Midway through the interviews—-the team decided to bump me down to a level lower which changes the base salary and commission. The recruiter is also unable to disclose why the team made that decision which makes me uncomfortable. What would you recommend?

Whenever I got promoted to digital ACD a few years ago, I noticed my pay was much lower than I expected for the market I’m in, hard to find skillsets, performance, and visibility I’ve brought to the agency. I’ve brought this up a few times and was told HR would do research into salary equity, but the convo always fades. I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?

But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
