Is it a wise decision to move to Amsterdam from Bangalore? I am a 34 years old Devops Engineer staying with my wife and a baby. We both are working here while in Amsterdam once I move, my wife will be eligible to apply for jobs(She is into Software testing)
CCTC : 37Lpa , Offered CTC - 72K Euro with 11 years of exp in DevOps. Please suggest.

I believe 72K is slightly on the lower side if compared with your India CTC. I would suggest renegotiate once since they can offer much more at your YOE.

Also, consider if you are planning to move to settle in NL or Europe eventually as at the moment it is about your wife and kids comfort too.

If your wife can work, I guess it would be quite comfortable overall

Yeah I am getting pretty much a similar response by fellow fishes. Thank you for your input.

with comparison of ctc part , bangalore is better,72k with 11 years of experience is lesser ,you could live comfortably with 37LPA in bangalore.considering your spouse is not working.you should atleast get more than 90k ,otherwise its wise to stay in bangalore with 37LPA.

Amsterdam is quite costly in terms of living. Rent is quite high there. 72k is quite low as per your experience. As suggested above, 85-90k would be a standard salary but still no match for your India salary.

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!
