      The US does pay significantly higher, but with enormous costs (afaik).

      My senior full stack engineer position would be about 60k/year at the government, which is a significant income to Dutch standaards.

      My monthly costs are around 1400 per month, the rest used for savings and fun.

      Yeah you’re right, immediately thought I’d low balled it.
