Primary school teachers make 40k to 72k in the Netherlands.

It doesn't make sense to be a software engineer in that country, unless you prefer looking at a screen all day over working with people.

Whoa I'm a senior enterprise it architect in Spain and I only make 60k lol. The Netherlands standard of living has really accelerated since I left there

Minimum wage in the Netherlands is about 26k a year so i sure hope it skews to "and up", you can make 40k at a helpdesk resetting people's passwords.

The 'and up' bit is relevant. I know some people there that do large multiples of that figure.
