Same minhag in The Netherlands as in Germany. Nowadays people tend to try and be stricter, but still, as far as I know the general position is that in situations where not shaking hands would be awkward / problematic, one is allowed to do so. For example, the most relevant (and pretty much the only relevant) scenario of going on a job interview, or, related, meeting your new boss for the first time. In those situations I do not avoid it at all, I simply see no point in giving myself a bad reputation. (Of course this applies specifically to Chu”l with non-Jewish women – in Israel it is / should be completely acceptable for any frum person not to shake hands with the opposite gender and one may assume that non-frum people there respect this.)
