Hi All,
I would like to gather information based on your experiences and knowledge. Please help me to get to know how life is there in Amsterdam. Recently I got offered a job to be a Designer and I will be moving there in the next 2 months and I have no idea what's the way of life here.
I have few questions to ask. If you find it too sensitive, please send me private message. Sorry, I just need to make use of the internet as a tool/reference.
* How you get paid? (In the Philippines, we get paid per 15days, Some countries like Singapore get paid per month. How about in Amsterdam?)
* What is the average and above average salary? (What is the desirable salary that gives you enough justice to live and save?)
* How do you pay taxes? (is it automatically deducted to your salary? or it's calculated per year?)
* Working hours? (Is it very strict that you have to be in the office at 9am sharp and leave at 6pm sharp?)
* Average costs everyday.
* Housing? (How much to rent a room per month?)
* Electricity/house bills
Thanks
I hope you can help me. And again, sorry for the question.
Regards,
Cam
