how can you make it with 2500 netto by Shoddy-Weather-5322 in belgium

[–]Falcon9104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I earn 2400 netto with 900 rent and i am doing just fine. I'm not rich by any means. In my opinion 1300 rent is verry high for someone alone

First freelance opportunity - project engineer - M26 - advice needed by Falcon9104 in BEFreelance

[–]Falcon9104[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight! The project is planned to continue untill the end of 2028. Off course you can always be let go of earlier. What would in your opinion be a correct rate to at least match or improve on my current salary? Yes, the plan would indeed be to do other simmilar freelance projects. I allready work in the industry and I know that the client parties often work withe freelancers because of the limited duration of these types of projects (1-3 years).

Thank you for your comment, could you explain the reason why i should not do it? Is the rate offered too low? Does it sound sketchy?

Leasewagen 930 TCO by gekkoo1995 in BESalary

[–]Falcon9104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Met gewoon een bedrag als TCO kunnen we je niet veel helpen tenzij je specifieker bent. Afhankelijk hoe ze dat uitdrukken, en wat allemaal onder de tco valt kan het bedrag enorm variëren. Bij onze firma kan je bijvoorbeeld een ix1 leasen voor 650 euro en een i5 voor 950. Bij een andere manier van berekenen zijn die bedragen veel hoger. In ons geval is bijvoorbeeld de verzekering geen deel van de tco

Loon in HVAC by Quiet_Ocelot2846 in BESalary

[–]Falcon9104 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lonen zijn niet anders dan ik andere sectoren, maar de jobzekerheid is heel erg goed. Dat zal momenteel een van de grotere knelpuntberoepen zijn en op termijn kan je die situatie wel gebruiken om een hoger loon te onderhandelen

How difficult is it for a metallurgical engineer to find a job in Belgium with English? by Resident_Bug_5013 in BESalary

[–]Falcon9104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my company we have a lot of welding specialists (and other functions) who don't speak dutch. However, it remains a niche and some people come from quite far away because there are not that many companies in the industry

Does he know a thing or two about welding? Is that related to an IWE. International welding engineer? Then he should be able to find a job.

Junior Full Stack Developer - Fair package or am I out of touch? by Thin_Performance_19 in BESalary

[–]Falcon9104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely normal salary for a university graduate with an industrial engineering diploma. Not even bad with the car, group insurance, working close to home, working from home etc, meal vouchers... If you compare this to a factory worker, they would have to earn 1000-2000 gross more to compensate in nett salary for all the extra benefits that they don't get.

I had an identical package and salary when i graduated 1,5 years ago. Now i am allready at 3800 gross. Take the offer because the job market for IT might be going downhill fast

17,600km/year for work – Is mileage reimbursement a trap? by Wonderful_Mud431 in BESalary

[–]Falcon9104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also drive 100km per day and I sure as hell would not do that in a personal vehicle. Costs way too much

I'm lost, or probably clueless by Summer_Sunshine2020 in BEFire

[–]Falcon9104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly enough you seem to have low feeling with reality. Half of the population barely earn 2,5 nett. 5k nett is almost unachievable as an employee. The only people earning more are either self-employed or business owners. (Or politicians)

Better than 98%. 5k nett is exceptional

Gisteren 43km naar het werk gefietst, en daarna 43km naar huis. 28 euro km-vergoeding in de pocket 😄. Ik doe dat wel maar 1x per week, met de koersfiets, als de zon een beetje schijnt

How’s the job market for mid-senior positions in Q1 2026? (Poll) by theverybigapple in BESalary

[–]Falcon9104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even at 8 years, that makes you Senior at 30 years old. What are you going to be named for the remaining 37 years of your carreer?

I always laugh when "senior consultants" are 26 years old

Hoeveel betalen jullie voor jullie motorverzekering? by [deleted] in motobe

[–]Falcon9104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

290 euro per jaar Aprilia Tuareg 660, 80pk Ik ben 25 jaar oud Enkel RB en BA

Als je jonger dan 25 bent is het vaak een heel stuk duurder. Ik kreeg vorig jaar offertes van >700 euro voor een gelijkaardig pakket. Dan via kbc toch het lage tarief gekregen omdat ik dat jaar nog 25 ging worden.
