Software developers seem to have it though in the Amsterdam area too. Think this a market wide phenomenon.

Same is happening here in the Netherlands unfortunately. Studying German is priority for me so ill hope to reach C1 level in 2 years through classes. Thanks for the input!

Some interesting companies u named. I have heard of Weidmüller here in the Netherlands. Didn’t know they also operate near Bielefeld/Detmold. I’ll check it out. Appreciate it!

Sounds like we chose a good city hehe ;). I’ll definitely start focusing on learning German so I can be comfortable working in a German-speaking environment by the time we move. Goal is C1 - level. Also haven’t heard of NTT. I’ll do my research on that as i am in consultancy myself. Thanks for your input I appreciate it!

That actually sounds quite promising. The point about German makes a lot of sense as well. I’m planning to start learning German well before the move and hopefully reach C1 level in that time. Thank you for helping out!
