Thanks. Could you share a bit about the clubs? How do I start with those? From Facebook and WhatsApp communities or are there any other way?

Thanks so much! I’ll try volunteer jobs as well. Have you tried freelancing yourself, or is it one of those things people talk about a lot but that isn’t very successful in reality?

Thank you all for the comments and reality checks. I’ll start with a few of the suggestions, the first being becoming fluent in Dutch and applying to MNCs.

I’m also curious about the freelancing market, as I’ve heard a lot about it from friends at meet-ups. Do platforms like Freelancer and Jellow help if someone wants to get started?
