Talent

The Trimodal Nature of Software Engineering Salaries in the Netherlands and Europe

“Most engineers making outsized compensation in Europe have done so by taking a moderate risk on a high-growth, road-to-public company, joining before the IPO, and negotiating for equity. I know engineers at Uber, Datadog, Airbnb and Doordash who have seen great rewards for joining before going public was a ‘done deal’. As time progresses, people working at companies that award large stock packages, and with stocks that see strong stock growth are also often in these positions.”


Music

The vision

“Imagine being the first and only person to hear a song on the radio. Now you hit play and it’s playing a completely different song, but you’re again the first person to ever hear it. Now imagine this happens every time you hit play…This is the bespoke and hyper-personalized listening experience that is 0xmusic.”
