LinkedIn Salary Breakdown Fail
I make €250,000 per year in Amsterdam as a contractor tech lead and it's utterly unbelievable. Let's break it down. After taxes, my take home is approximately €147,000 or €12,250/month - rent for apartment in Zuid: €3,800 - tesla lease: €1,100 - laundry service & cleaners: €440 - uber eats: €1,650 - cocktails and Michelin star dinners for dates: €2,200 - weekend trips Paris and NYC: €1,700 - white t-shirt: €40 - natural wine: €800 - vondelgym: €120 - crypto investments: €1,500 Total costs: €13,550 Despite remotely working my butt off for 32 hours per week and making €250,000 per year, I am somehow in the position where I'm losing €1,100 per month. What is wrong with this city? h/t to Austin Nasso
A LinkedIn-style post lists a high Amsterdam salary alongside extravagant lifestyle expenses. The joke is that the author claims to be losing money despite earning €250,000, because their discretionary spending exceeds their monthly take-home pay. It is sent as a sarcastic reaction to privileged financial complaints and performative LinkedIn posts.
