Programme/ Senior Project Manager rates in Amsterdam

[PropertyCrashUK]

Per thread title - what are the going rates in Amsterdam for Programme and Senior Project Managers? Two clients have asked me to quote.

Do the rates in AMS off-set the costs of living there compared to what you can get for the same role here in the UK?

Thanks.

The rates in Amsterdam are higher. But will definitely not offset your expenses if you spend nothing on subsistence in the UK. At a very rough estimate the rates are higher by around 20%. This is just my experience and the actual premium (or discount in some areas) will vary.

Commuted/worked in Amsterdam last year, if you want an apartment in town, circa 1500 eur/month IIRC.

Costs aside, I loved it, and I'd seriously consider quitting UK and going back with the family if a decent job came up. Everything just works - Schiphol, trains, trams, bikes - no hassle at all.

Just 2 weeks ago I was offered a role as Senior BA in a bank for 80 Euros per hour...

Unfortunately few things did not work out so I had to let go of that opprotunity.

Being paid by hour is good which means if you work extra hours, you still get paid as opposed to day rate contracts in UK

I just took on a contractor at double that rate. Seems like in the 'field service optimisation' arena rates are alive and well.

Thanks for the info. Have worked in AMS before but not rellocated there on a permanent basis.

A moot point anyhow, the client came back and decided the role is now a permie one.
