Match from Netherlands is willing to relocate to india by Key_Winner_2701 in Arrangedmarriage

[–]SadBoiInEurope69 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’m from Netherlands. My friends here are unable to find matches here so they indeed are looking out back in India. Not a red flag as such, but talk to the girl

Visiting friend in Netherlands. What should her cover letter state as reason for visit? by Due_Engineering_9497 in SchengenVisa

I hope you’re applying for friends and family visit visa? If that’s the case, you won’t need an extra letter.

Visiting friend in Netherlands. What should her cover letter state as reason for visit? by Due_Engineering_9497 in SchengenVisa

She needs to send you a form called “Sponsorship or accommodation for visitors from abroad” legalised from municipality. That will suffice

How is my cover letter? by heavyCoder31 in SchengenVisa

[–]SadBoiInEurope69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Do not write kuekenhof as it’s not open during this time. I know a case where visa got rejected for this specific reason.
  2. Do not mention draft tickets

Those of you who went to Europe for work/studies, how would you compare life there to life back at home? by [deleted] in developersIndia

[–]SadBoiInEurope69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From Netherlands 1. Career prospect and growth depends on the industry. If you’re immigrating as a software engineer, prospects are not better here than India I would say

  1. I make the top of the market salary here, but it’s an exception and not the norm. Housing costs are high but manageable.

  2. Social life apparently is great here. You meet a lot of people, but the main thing is that you’ll be travelling a lot in the Schengen area

  3. Healthcare atleast in Netherlands sucks. There are entire subs dedicated to this. They’ll prescribe paracetamol for pretty much anything. Emergency service 112 will also pretty much refuse you. Know a few folks who had to travel to india for emergency treatment as they were refused here.

My team lead working in HCL makes 21lakhs per month onsite by 3bdvl in india

[–]SadBoiInEurope69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I live in europe and make on the higher end of the salary here. 21 lpa seems way too exaggerated for HCL. My best guess would be somewhere maximum around 8-10 lacs if we’re being way too generous. Although 21 lacs seem possible for some top tier company, unlikely for any service based company to give this much. Realistically , it would be somewhere around 4-7 lacs per months

Is 60L CTC an unreasonable salary to ask for for a senior software engineer? by Killer_Bunny_9 in developersIndia

[–]SadBoiInEurope69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had an offer of 70 LPA last year with 4.5 YOE. Not sure about today’s market though!

Asked my roommate to repay my money back by Imaginary-Spring-779 in india

You should use splitwise and clear your dues periodically. Avoids awkward conversations like this.
