My family are seriously considering relocating to Amsterdam — exciting but also a bit overwhelming! 😅

We’d love to hear from anyone who’s living there or has made a similar move:
• Is Amsterdam a good place for families with a toddler?
• What’s the minimum salary one should expect to live comfortably with a family?
• Any tips on good neighborhoods, schools, or settling in?

Appreciate any suggestions, insights, or warnings! 🙏💬

Working in Amsterdam is good but dont live there, you can live near by citiee as Amsterdam can become more crowded in peak season.

Also, work culture is very good there

Dont expect a very good salary as you get in India but you can make 3500-5500 in Netherlands, rest depends on your skills and yoe.

Weather is good, people are good, work life balance you can maintain, obviously there are pros and cons of every place but this would be the best move.

If you move to any new country there is a struggle of 1 to 2 years but after that it will be smooth

Weather is good? Even many locals wouldn't say that.

How u got the chance?
I don’t know you but i am happy for you. Anywhere outside India opportunity is worth.
Try to seek help from HR they are really helpful not like Indian management. Ask these questions to them. For family monthly 4K euro is enough . If ur wife also start earning then gr8.
Hope I answered ur query. Pls answer my query also
