Working as developer intern for Dutch startup, from Brazil (I'm Dutch btw). I get 400eu per month. Nearing the end of the internship and they want to hire me, curious what I will be offered - hope I'll remember to report back :)

Should I ask for a typical Dutch salary or a typical local salary or somewhere inbetween?

What is the typical rate for internship if you were not a remote worker? I would guess it is higher than 400eu/month. What if you were a non remote worker in Brazil itself? It would be lower than 400eu/month, right? So, your company would want to pay you somewhere in between. I would suggest you start from a salary closer to a typical Dutch one and allow them to negotiate you down to what you expect.
