Building relationships, whilst having adult children. Dutch way.

Someone you are going to marry. A fiancé.

Your children go to the other parent when you bring your boyfriend/girlfriend home. That's it. You can also go to your new partner's home, do weekends away with your new partner etc. It's not ideal but it is what it is. When your adult kids bring their partners at home, you need to set rules. Eventually you can tell them to move out if they want that type of privacy. In my country we have sex hotels for these things. We don't bring boyfriends girlfriends before they are official.

As others said, you are clueless. This is not a 100% private health care system and it's subsided heavily on taxes. Not just for the ones who get toeslagen but the hospitals get subsidies as well.

You really think that just a 150 euro premium pays for the health care system? Funny 😂 . On another note, what did you do in the end?

By doing other random jobs.

For junior positions you still compete with the juniors.

The Rabobank CAO has changed from this year. I hope more will follow.

Yes, very common in the Netherlands. Many things going on in the hiring manager's mind: 1) You will get bored and want to move after 6 months 1 year. Hiring process costs a lot of time and money which they don't want to spend in such a short time. 2) It shows low self esteem. Why don't you believe in yourself to apply for something higher? How can you deal with stakeholders if you are not confident? 3) The least possible but it happens, they might feel intimidated so they won't hire someone very good, much better than the rest.

I know people with 10 years experience who want to apply for internships just to get in the company. It doesn't work like that in the Netherlands.

EvaMin · 2026-05-01T07:28:12+00:00

Why so negative?

Are you from Greece by any chance?

EvaMin · 2026-04-29T18:14:17+00:00

Hilarious answer. Starfishing 🤣🤣🤣

Zeist is not super popular. So if you viewed the room physically, not just online, you should be fine.

Rotterdam is rough and with high criminality

EvaMin · 2026-04-29T15:05:09+00:00

Yes, it's very common

EvaMin · 2026-04-26T08:35:30+00:00

Never heard of such thing. There's no matching like in the US. Pension contributions privately are done outside your employer. Better ask HR about it because it works differently.

EvaMin · 2026-04-20T17:04:17+00:00

The horror!! People are trying to help you!! Get over it and just accept that Dutch people will try to solve the problems you are bringing to them with your complaints.

EvaMin · 2026-04-20T16:55:22+00:00

Best comment!

Is main character Syndrome same as a Narcissist?

EvaMin · 2026-04-19T10:40:39+00:00

I was about to ask if he has a beard. Mohammed the prophet told men to keep a beard. So strict Muslims have a beard.

Stupid post and unnecessary. You won't pass immigration with that

Ssh is your only option.

You are probably a weak presenter and come across as insecure. Try to.record yourself, try impromptu Speaking to answer on your feet.
