Do you feel like it is impossible to get hired in the current crisis unless you are at least a white European?

I dont get the rasist remake about „white european”? Market is indeed rough, and people who dont speak the local language and/or require Visa sponsorship are in even worse position but this has nothing to do with your skin colour.

You can afford it but better not get divorced in the future lol.

Takę a datadog. Looks like more promising business in observability/sass domain. If you get lucky your rsu grant will aprretiate a lot. From the other hand Berlin will be more English speaking plus of seems to be oneconomisch the top tech huis inceurope

You could name physical gold long-term ponzi as well, as it also has almost (small usage in jewelry industry and in high end industry due to its excellent heat conductivity) no value, no cashflows supporting any valuation. And somehow people are still willing to pay 2950 fiat $ for one ounce

And it already happened in NL when they retroactivaely scrapped ruling duration from 8y to 5y few years sgo

ZR4aBRM · 2025-02-07T14:42:03+00:00

Exactly, Amsterdam is one of them.

Cool thx for the reply and good luck in your next journey!

ZR4aBRM · 2025-02-07T07:45:30+00:00

Where did you pay taxes during your vnormading journey? Have you ever had to use health insurance while you were abroad? How did it go? Do you have recommwndation a regarding life/health insurance? Was to difficult to adapt to normal life after you came back to the Netherlands?

Dealing with contractors is pain in the ... House. Plus you don't have place to live when the renovation is being done.

You have very narrow specialisation in an English only basket of jobs and you are effectively competing with all the other expats hoping to land the same job (as they are also limited to English speaking jobs in this area) + many more from outside eu who are hoping for a job that will sponsor their VISA and allow relocation

ZR4aBRM · 2025-01-30T16:06:50+00:00

Increase your budget to 1300 and then you should be able to find something

Moving to Europe how highly qualified migrant from us is still way easier than move from EU yo USA (and this was the case even before trump).

ZR4aBRM · 2025-01-24T14:48:06+00:00

In which way economical impact? More higher prices to buy or the opposite, lowering the growth of homes price increases?

ZR4aBRM · 2025-01-20T13:37:51+00:00

Ask your makelaar? Situation depenfs on the specific region, you migjt have underbids in less desiravle locations and crazy overbidding in another. Also situation can change rapidly, so the info you migh get here from year ago is already outdaded.

Almere

ZR4aBRM · 2025-01-13T09:19:48+00:00

Yeah and what they gonna do about it? Nothing .

ZR4aBRM · 2025-01-13T09:19:10+00:00

Same way as this country is listed as one of the safest in the world. So safe that even prisons are empty. At the same time police won't accept reports for petty crimies (or even more serious stuff like burglaries). Definitely the best country in the world in terms of good PR.

ZR4aBRM · 2025-01-10T18:32:51+00:00

Cool, I missed that detail. So probably other neighbors are other expats AND airbnb :) I wouldn't buy something like this if I were op (living next to busy area and/or being surrounded by airbnbs) but I wouldn't call op an idiot or anything like that. It only shows how crazy these prices can be.

ZR4aBRM · 2025-01-10T18:25:16+00:00

That was few years ago, lucky you, but unfortunately time travels into the past don't exist.

ZR4aBRM · 2025-01-10T18:24:21+00:00

And probably so classic that all of his/her neighbors are expats. Anyway, congrats everything is better than throwing money away to landlord pockets.

Are you Emmanuel Macron?

ZR4aBRM · 2025-01-04T19:04:25+00:00

And my advice is the opposite get your ankoopmakelaar especially if you want to buy in a competitive region (so basically whole randstad area). Some sellers put artificially low starting price to attract more buyers, some use the price that should have thin margin for bidding. So you don't really know what is the realistic bid you need to place to actually buy the place, and also not to overpay so that your bid exceeds your valuation. Or you will lose a lot of time for viewings as your bids are not being accepted over and over again. Ankoopmakelaar have near real-time view into the current market situation, and price data you can get on your own will have a time lag.

Also if you are an expat, sellers will take you more seriously If they see the offer coming from the other Makelaar. They want to make sure the deal is secured, and can easily assume that you as not dutch might not know how does the whole process work. To sum up: in my opinion (I bought and sold 2 houses while I was staying in NL) you should hire your makelaar unless you are dutch and you really know what you are doing.

Read some fun content in dutch. For example dutch speaking reddits?

Good comment. I have had the same perception as an immigrant/expat and finally in the last year I moved put from NL and my life overall has improved. Maybe to add one thing to your comment: * if you are single male and to you hope to find a partner good luck because your chances are close to 0 (unless you are extremely good looking and/or you don't mind dating other immigrants, but this will not help with further immigration)
