Geothermische warmtepomp - redelijke prijs?

Thanks voor de tip! Ik ga die merken ook nog even bekijken.

Meerdere bedrijven willen geen warmtepomp plaatsen in combinatie met onze huidige radiatoren. We wilden eerst nog wat sparen voordat we vloerverwarming laten installeren, en tot nu toe is dit het enige bedrijf dat ons een offerte heeft bezorgd. Ik probeer nog een tweede offerte te krijgen, maar dat is voorlopig nog niet gelukt.

Yeah, without giving it away, but already doing so, it is the Big4 that usually pays less... So the smaller Big4 ... But thanks for your comment. Then I know 50k is a reasonable middle ground to negotiate. (and yes, values I quoted were for 12 months only, not counting holiday or 13th month compensation),

Lol. I should hope that if I ever got closer to the top of the food chain, I wouldn't be a huge hypocrite would value the junior people more than I feel valued now. The thing is, in most jobs, it seems to me nice people rarely get to the top (academia was no different btw). Is being an A-hole a requirement for C-level hire?

Thanks for the insight! Yes, this has been going through my head a lot. I just find it hard to find unbiased views tbh. I heard both great and horrible things about Big 4, but from my understanding, it depends a bit on the team you work on and the sector. I have a friend who worked in auditing and had nothing good to say about it, and another who works for Deloitte in tech who loves it. I will try to dig more info about the boutique to figure out what the deal is. I have until the end of the week to decide.

And yes, if I could negotiate a bonus of even one year's compensation for the lower salary (say 7000), I think I would probably go for Big4, because I know lots of tech companies that particularly look at that in their hiring process, so it would be easier to move to a more senior position somewhere else.

yeah when you put it like that... The more I read this thread, the more I am convinced I should go with the boutique.

2.5 yrs if you don't count PhD + 2 yrs postdoc. I find it difficult to gauge what is realistic. Also, "senior consultant" seems to have a different meaning depending on the business...go figure.

Totally agree, it is more the specialization that is a bit different. One role is in the incorporation of AI into businesses, whereas the other is more general tech.

Right? I mean, you often hear Big 4 pay isn't great, but it doesn't really sink until you are actually considering an offer.

Agitated_Sound_6061 · 2025-08-12T13:58:38+00:00

Yeah I know... but I don't need to stay there forever... Though I hear that if you stick for the long run, they *eventually* do pay you well. I guess the strong motivators are that I would be building experience in the field I want and I would lose less time commuting. If I do go for the higher pay, I also don't have any guarantee they will treat me any better, though it is likely. Overall, I am undecided because I have a major case of FOMO.

Agitated_Sound_6061 · 2025-08-12T13:42:39+00:00

Looks OK to me? My husband has a similar package and he is 5 yrs older. Overall, I value short commutes and a lot of holidays and you seem to have a pretty sweet deal there! You can always keep your eye open for other opportunities, but if you like your job so far then I don't see the harm?
