Is Belgium the worst country in Europe for highly skilled workers?

On this subreddit I saw people with high school degree getting 7000 gross and a lot of people have 5000 gross + car at the same age (near 30) with 3-5 years experiences.

Meanwhile, my friend with a PhD in RnD got 4600 gross without any mobility compensation, or another got 3500 gross + company car doing tech consultant. I’m currently looking for a job myself and it doesn’t look much better

Honestly at this point, what they offered seems a bit humiliating, is it the normality in Belgium? Why would companies like tech consulting exist even? It’s so under paid for what they ask us to do. 2500 netto + car sounds a really upsetting. Can someone offer advices? Does industry experiences matter that much?

digital marketer - screwed or not screwed

Sorry for missing the rule where we had to fill in the template. I'd done the initial post on my phone. Reposting.

Alright. Based on all of this information....I feel like I'm being so, so fucked over but I'm too scared to try and get better terms somehow (I genuinely feel kind of worthless, job-wise). I'd kind of like to just confirm that I'm getting a bad deal and maybe it'll give me the confidence to at least try and get a raise or something.

Honest opinions on job hopping

I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 2022 and have changed jobs several times since then. Each time, I worked for the same employer for 6 months to 1.5 years. I left due to a lack of career advancement opportunities, poor management, and in one case, even a downright narcissistic boss.

I’m currently in my fourth job. I actually really enjoy it, but unfortunately, there’s very little work. I can finish my tasks in about an hour, which means I often have nothing to do for the remaining seven hours. I do finally have set hours and vacation periods now, and I enjoy the work that is available. Working from home isn’t an option.

Now I’m wondering if it’s too soon to start looking for another job again. Maybe I should just hang in there for a while and stay here for at least a year to a year and a half. On the other hand, I’m worried that I might be heading toward a bore-out.

In the meantime, I have a pretty good idea of what I’m looking for in terms of responsibilities and the type of company. I actually saw a job opening that perfectly matches what I’m looking for and where I hope to stay for a long time.

Would you hire me as a recruiter, or is this more of a red flag?

Salary Review Meetings

Hey everyone,

My company did some weird stuff like splitting the yearly review and the salary review with half a year inbetween.

The result is that some do it diligently and according to the timeline laid out by the C-suite and other managers try to avoid these meeting as much as possible.

I'd like to know your experience with these reviews.

Do you get these reviews every year or do you get an increase in salary every year?

Do you really have to push for a review?

Do some managers try to avoid these discussions altogether?

For the managers, why would you want to avoid discussions about salary?

Thanks for your feedback. I'm trying to understand everyone's reasoning as well as make sense of my own situation.

HR professionals in Belgium: is the market tough right now?

Hi everyone,

I’d really appreciate some honest advice.

I’m an experienced HR professional based in Belgium, with a background as HR Manager and in Compensation & Benefits / Total Rewards. I’m currently looking for roles such as HR Director, HR Manager, or Comp & Ben Manager.

I’ve been going through multiple interview processes over the past months, but I keep facing rejections or no feedback at all. The market feels very competitive, especially in industry and pharma,chemicals etc…

For those working in HR or recruitment in Belgium:

- Is the market particularly tough right now for senior HR roles?

- Are there specific strategies, recruiters, or networks I should focus on?

- Any tips to better position myself?

I’m open to any honest feedback or advice. Thanks a lot in advance 🙏

Hoe vaak zie jij je ouder(s) als je alleen woont?

Ik ben bijna 30 en woon momenteel nog thuis bij mijn mama. Door familiale omstandigheden (scheiding van mijn ouders) is zij nu alleen in een groot huis, en we hebben een heel sterke band.

Ik heb onlangs een appartement gekocht en zou dus in principe kunnen verhuizen, maar ik twijfel enorm. Het idee om haar alleen achter te laten voelt moeilijk, en ik vraag me af hoe anderen dat doen.

Moest ik verhuizen, denk ik dat ik nog elke dag zou langskomen (bv. ’s avonds eten of even langsgaan).

Mijn mama werkt ook niet en heeft altijd voor mij gezorgd. Ze heeft dus geen contact met collega’s etc.

Maar dan stel ik me ook de vraag: wat is dan nog het verschil met thuis wonen?

Daarom ben ik benieuwd:

- Hoe vaak zien jullie je ouder(s) als je alleen woont?

- Is het normaal om bijna dagelijks langs te gaan?

- Hebben jullie daar grenzen in moeten leren stellen?

- En heeft uit huis gaan voor jullie echt iets veranderd?

Ik voel me een beetje “tussenin”: enerzijds wil ik mijn eigen leven opbouwen, anderzijds wil ik er ook zijn voor mijn mama die alleen is.

Ik werk gewoon voltijds. Ook in het weekend zou ik nog veel tijd met haar willen doorbrengen.

Alle ervaringen of inzichten zijn welkom.

Is it okay to ask about summer holiday before starting a new job?

I’m about to start a new job in a month, and I’m trying to plan a summer holiday. Normally, I was thinking of taking around 1 month off, but I realize that might be too long given I’ll be just starting a new role.

At the same time, if I wait until I start, flight and hotel prices will likely go up quite a bit, so I’m considering asking about it in advance.

My questions:

Would it be weird or inappropriate to bring this up before even starting?

What would be a “reasonable” amount of time off in the first few months?

How would you phrase this without sounding entitled?

Exploring opportunities at PwC Belgium (Tech/Digital) – Is the Big 4 "grind" real for IT?

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently been shortlisted for a tech-focused position at PwC Belgium. Before I dive deep into the interview rounds, I want to manage my expectations and see if the reality aligns with the job descriptions.

I’m looking for some honest feedback on a few points:

IT & Innovation: For those working in the tech/digital space at PwC, how is the environment? Is it genuinely forward-thinking with modern projects, or is IT mostly seen as a "support function" for the auditors and consultants?

Work-Life Balance: We’ve all heard the Big 4 stereotypes. Is it actually possible to have a life outside of work in the Belgian tech teams, or are 60-hour weeks the baseline?

Company Culture: Is the atmosphere supportive for tech professionals? I’m curious if there’s a good "learning culture" or if it’s strictly billable-hour focused.

The Perks (The "Belgium Special"): How is the benefits package? Specifically curious about the current car policy/mobility budget options, net allowances, and if the year-end bonuses are actually significant.

If you currently work there or left recently, I’d love to hear your take. Is it a great place to grow your career, or should I proceed with caution?

Thanks!

Customer Support > Customer Success Manager

I recently got hired as a Customer Support Officer in a Med Tech Startup. I am trilingual which is a major thing they're looking for as they want to better be able to assist and follow up on Flemish accounts.

I anchored at €3,700 - €4,000. They offered €3,350 (because market and current internal salaries) and said they bumped up the net compensation to make up for the lower salary (which I'm not sure how true that is, all seems pretty basic).

I accepted, but made it clear I'm expecting to rediscuss salary once I become a CSM which they replied to very positively and guaranteed this would happen during the December performance review.

They are very happy with my performance these past few weeks and I intend for that to last. So I wanted to ask if my current salary seems fair and what I should ask for in my December review assuming my performance is really good the whole year.

Electronics Engineer

I started working for about a year now. I'm considering switching jobs as I don't feel like I'm growing in my current position and the management doesn't suit me. There's a lot of work and pressure due to over optimistic/non realistic deadlines. So I feel very drained and exhausted every day after work. And I'm even stopping enjoying what I'm doing. Also I have almost no senior support and only getting little feedback even when asking for. They also promised me a company car but finally said it'll be for later and until now still nothing.

I'm just hesitant about my situation as I'm relying on a work permit and I'm aware the job market is a bit tough for juniors right now...

So I'm wondering if it's a wise decision to switch now or is it better to get some more years of experience?

So, according to some calculations/online calculators:

Scenario A)

My wife does not work at all. My salary would be 2950 net about + allowances (Mob. Budget + others) + Meal vouchers + Child allowance

It's going to be about 4000 as family income but very limited/Nulle daycare/child's care

Scenario B)

My wife does work for 2000€ gross per month (she can decide how much to earn till 2000).

My salary would be 2500 net about + allowances (Mob. Budget + others) + Meal vouchers + Child allowance

It's going to be about 5000 as family income thanks to the a fiscal law (my wife would earn 30% of my salary). But we would need to heavily rely on daycare/child's care

Are these scenarios ok for Brussel? And what about my salary?

Many thanks

Tax Manager - 31 yo - Brussels

Hey guys, hope you're doing well this weekend! Wanted your opinion on the following. A bit of context: I studied law, did a specialization in tax and worked 5 years as tax lawyer in a Band 1 law firm in Brussels previously to this job. I then switched because I wanted a greater work/life balance. I'm (very) happy with my situation but it's alway interesting to hear opinions.

Why am I posting?

  • I'm somewhat hesitating to leave for other career paths (lawyer again in a law firm with better work/life balance (seems difficult aha), lawyer 50%/Phd50% or "Procureur des Koning/Procureur du roi" in tax law).
  • When I hear some of my friends around my age still working in law firms, I have the impression I'm doing more money then them, even without considering my weekly hours which are smaller than their (for now, because if they make it to counsel of partner, it will be another story!). It is something I was not expecting to be honest.

Thanks in advance and have a good day!
