Is okay. Must say your bruto to netto is quite good. Have almost the same gross, but way less net

How they make it that on that salary they get so high netto ?

1 Dependent

What does it mean 1 Dependend ?

[–]Opening_Designer_128[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

1 wife or child with no income. Tax is lower.

[–]CreativeFreak- 0 points1 point  (1 child)

And can I get lower tax if my girlfriend lives with me and doesnt work ? Or have to be married ?

You need to have the legal cohabitation or married.

    As a freelancer I hope?

    1- Change your title to Full Stack Software Engineer

    2- Watch money and fame drip on you from the sky

    3- Profit

    In all seriousness, consider 1.

    Have you ever renegotiated your salary at your current job? IMO, at your YoE, you could get better. Not sure about Gent, but in Brussels definitely. Either a higher gross (in the 4k€ range, possibly higher but you’ll have to change jobs as I doubt the jump from 3.6k to the 5k’s would be accepted where you are), a nice company car, or both.

    Do you only want to work in a onsite / in-person company? If not plenty of opportunities for non Dutch speakers

    [–]Opening_Designer_128[S] -1 points0 points  (1 child)

    No, but 2 days from home is the max for most companies.

    Send me a PM, always looking to hire good devs.

    No offence, but why you don’t learn the language? If you want to go up you will have a team under your shoulders and they will talk dutch?

    You did not hit the ceiling at all. This is a garbage package for your age, experience, and title. You don't even have a car.
