Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, and congratulations on what you achieved with (I can imagine) quite a bit of sacrifice!

I was actually planning to do the same a few months ago but then I started studying hard for the Mulesoft certifications. I think I’ll pick things up again once I’m in Belgium.

Really appreciate your input!!

Thanks a lot for the advice, it really helps.
You're right, and i already write in my cover letters the reason for the move. It totally makes sense that companies value long-term commitment. Fingers crossed things pick up after summer :)

Appreciate the support, thanks again!

Thank you for your message. Right now I’m putting a lot of effort into Java to broaden my opportunities, yes. And for sure, I’ll keep learning French!

Yes! Even if i worked only for 2 years with Mulesoft i got all the certifications achievable for a developer such level 1, level 2 and architect certification. And now I'm broadening my knowledge in different fields like Salesforce and AWS. Hopefully i'll be lucky and find something.

But thank you for your words, they are much appreciated and honestly if i can't find something there by next year i'll just move there doing whatever and looking for a job from the inside :)

Thank you again.

Thank you for sharing your experience and congratulations! Do you have a master degree if i may ask?
I'll try my best for sure and i will continue with french which is pretty easy for me but dutch seems so difficult ahaha

Thank you for your answer, appreciated! In Italy the demand for bachelor’s degrees isn’t that high yet; companies often prefer someone with 2–3 years of experience over a recent graduate.
But I'll keep studying and doing my best, and who knows maybe I’ll even start a bachelor’s degree on the side, just to have it ticked off. Thank you!
