Earlier quoted context omitted.

I am not sure how well this generalises over the entire EU. My experience in the Netherlands is that job hopping occurs frequently and is a great way to get on a higher salary. However, I do agree that there is a salary cap around 70-80k for software engineers. If you want to earn more than that you either need to go into management or move to a better paying region (US/Ireland/UK).

Or go contracting. I've been contacted about 500-600 EUR/day contracts in Amsterdam. Not sure how common they are, but the option is there.

very common, also in Germany (https://www.gulp.de/knowledge-base/17/iv/mehr-ist-mehr-3-pro...)

Love the fact and the way that the topic presented. I find it hard to apply to other lines of work though, especially classic working class jobs and for example healthcare and teaching. How would you guys modify the list? I for one would rate the security much higher even tough I understand that it's not as important for everyone. For physically demanding jobs (practical nurses, nurses, construction workers etc.) I'd…

Not hard to get a job in healthcare (at least where I love) so I wonder why you'd rate security so high.

It's not hard to get a job, by to get a job that you can be sure to still have tomorrow when you wake up is another cup of tea. Working on day to day contracts and filling in for ordinaries does not grant you and your family a stable income. The physically demanding aspect of nursing for example often lead to premature retirement due to injuries or worn out joints and backs. The security aspect for me reflects the ability to stay healthy and being able to continue working in the long run. It also reflects the need for a job that doesn't disappear over night or cease to exist - family matters you could say
