Hi I am in process of getting offer from Netherlands and Germany for Devops Engineer. The salary quoted by NL is €65k (amsterdam) and Germany is €70k(munich).

Currently I have 30L package in India having 11 years of experience.

Is it worth to go? Which one to go?
Is the quoted salary a good one for a couple?

I am planning to negotiate salary for extra €10-15k as the cost of living is high over there.

Please suggest..

Good thread that u have shared

I don't think u can save much in India with 30 l. Maybe max 1 lakh around. In Netherlands you will spend about 3k euro with luxury living. Keep in mind the food you have to cook yourself. So u can decide then. Also keep in mind the tax is around 20-30% in EU.

Check the in-hand salary and deduct your expense. if the amt converted to INR is less than what you would save in India then no point in moving

both are avg salary according to EU standards and there is not much room for negotiation as well. if u r single then go for german

Even with 80k euros, just on monetary terms, it would be better to stay in india. If you just convert euros to inr, it would make sense if only you wanted to move back to India in future. Otherwise, 30 lpa itself is better, let alone that you can easily switch to 40 lakh here. But that's just monetary aspects and it's just my opinion. There are other aspects to life as well and considering that you could move there. Although perhaps you could also get 120k there. Try for that.

If we return back to India after 3-4 years then whatever tax has been deducted will that be refunded can u please tell us?

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

PSA: The grass is greener in a regional firm if you can lateral over as a partner. I lateralled over last year and my billable expectation is only 1700. I have my own clients and make about 100k (after bonus) more than I did as a senior associate. The upside is probably capped because top equity partners probably make 1.5 to 2 million here but it is all worth it for the WLB. I only take on what I want to do and I help out other partners only when I feel like it.
