However if you're willing to do contracting you can make a lot more - there are plenty of full-time, long-term gigs with rates of 80-110/hour.
It's a worthwhile read, but this bit from the start is notable:
> The 2019 Honeypot Amsterdam developer survey says, "the most experienced developers earn an average of €55,000 high as over €70,000". The 2021 Talent.io salary report puts the most experienced software engineering salaries in Amsterdam at €60,000/year. Meanwhile, I've observed the average senior total compensation figures at Uber nearly double from €110,000 in 2015 to €170,000-€230,000/year by 2020. It's not just Uber: Booking.com senior total packages have gone up by 50% from around €100,000 in 2016 to €150,000+, as part of the EU salary research I've been running
But seriously, that's base rate. What's the stock compensation and bonus structure?
I've seen a few company has stock options already. One of my friends has.

But bonuses and other bonus compensation (i.e. offering part ownership in the form of special non-public stocks) aren't.
