You do realize, if we are talking dutch taxes here, you don't have to pay the 52% over the whole amount, and if you are coming from abroad there is this handy thing called the 30% ruling, which allows 30% of the salary to be paid out tax free.
So if it is 90.000EUR they offered
the 30% ruling means you are paying tax over roughly 60.000EUR. The 52% bracket is only for the income above 56500EUR, and below you have a couple more brackets with 42% and 33% (roughly)
