That ol' market rate..I might be able to extract EUR 50 p/h out of this if it comes off which is workable for me but I'm wondering if anyone knows a roundabout figure for market rate for a software developer in the euro zone at the moment? This particular contract is a bit niche but probably not so niche that it will push to +EUR 60 p/h.

If €50 is low, is €60 reasonable? I do know for a fact someone has already quoted €60 and been rejected on cost alone. The client has also rejected the option for flight and accomodation expenses to be included.
It's early days but at this stage others have gone in quoting the €40-€45 range so my rate is high in relation to these! It might not even get going for me on that basis.Moving to Montana soon, gonna be a dental floss tycoonComment

Mmm, I know the market is bad, but I would personally not go below 60 for a non-junior test or dev role. For more senior roles (such as senior testmanagement) I still believe 75+ is achievable. Bear in mind taxes in Holland are probably higher than you are used to. There's plenty of information about working and taxation in Holland on this site, which I trust you'll be able to find.Comment

I worked in Amsterdam last year. Was when Euro 2008 was on and it was one of the best Summers of my life. Beers in Rembrant square after work, sunshine and plenty of tourist bars to make you think you were on holiday. ResultComment
