I need your advice and assistance to choose between 2 options. I have two job offers one from India and another from Amsterdam. I am confused about choosing among them.
1. In India my gross would be 69 LPA along with my spouse out of which we save up to 20 LPA per year.
2. In Amsterdam, my gross is 86K including holidays allowances and stock options. My spouse is searching for a job. she might get 65K in the coming day.
Considering the 5yr horizon. Need your help to decide on the options.

Having lived in the Netherlands for the last two years I feel that after the tax deductions in Netherlands and the high cost of living in Amsterdam, your net_salary_netherlands<=net_salary_india

If you're eligible for the 30% tax ruling, only then you have some chances of saving more. All in all the work culture in Europe is way peaceful and pleasant than India.

That's great, maybe also check the cost of living and PPP (purchasing power parity) to help you make an informed decision.
Good luck and cheers!

Holy molly! What are you and your wife working as if I may know? And with 69 gross you save only 20L? Netherlands is a great place to work and as the person above commented, working culture is pleasant. Go for it :)
