Thanks Osita -That was might helpful and it definitely made sense .The move for us was just to explore Europe .My husband has also previously worked in amsterdam for a few months a few years before and liked the work culture ... and a few other things now that we have a baby coming ...We live in easy street here :) so unless the pros weigh far more than the con we probably wont make the move ... and I am going to contact a few local recruitment agents while my husband negotiates his paycheck :) Thanks Again for the input ......

If I may ask what is considered a decent take home salary in NL for a family of three? some thing that we'd live comfortably on after taxes.... Once again I do appreciate your input on this ....

Thank you all for your reply .It indeed does make us reconsider the whole move and I do appreciate the input from all of you! We are going to try and negotiate a better salary deal with the Employer

Will the salary be sufficient to not live in amsterdam itself but somewhere in and around Amstelveen .... My husband will not have to travel to work frequently so we wont be living in the city itself .....Does that make a difference on the salary you get ....? Is it easy for one to get a job in NL ?

Hello,
 
My husband has been offered a job in Netherlands,salary package of 45000 Euros P.A.We will be relocating from Singapore.We both work here in the IT field and I earn 9100 SGD (5500 Euros ) per month. I am an service delivery manager & worked in IT sectors for both IT and banking industry for 9 years. I however do not have a job offer in NL yet & we will have a 6 month old baby around the time we move. We plan to stay some where in Amstelveen or even some where on the outskirts as my husband will rarely have to travel to work...Will my husbands salary be sufficent for us ? Will it be easy for me to get a job there?
 
Happy to hear from anyone who has moved there and would really appreciate any information. I am a little scekptical about the move since I will have to forgo what I am earning here and kinda start from the scratch and everything depends on me getting a job but then again I am not sure if my husbands salary alone can sustain us for a few months until i get a job if that is easy in NL
