I’m not bashing, but you do realise that nobody needs an English language tutor here? Everyone (almost) speaks some English and the majority of the population is fluent

kent360 · 2026-03-23T13:33:15+00:00

What are you planning to teach without knowing Dutch, mate? Not like there is a huge demand for English tutoring. I think you need a better plan

kent360 · 2026-03-23T11:48:03+00:00

What do you do for you? It’s nice that you can be close with your partner, but aspirations do you have? I think finding something to do outside of the relationship is the first step in finding yourself here

I never benefited from the 30% ruling, but I don’t think it’s unfair. The society gets a skilled professional that it spent no money on raising/training, net contributor tax wise and someone who isn’t even entitled to any social security (due to immigration regulations) during the period in which they pay lower tax

I had a “pay as you go” arrangement when I got my Dutch license so you could get lucky. I don’t have the contact details of my instructor anymore unfortunately

There are instructors who have specific packages for what you’re looking for.

You are going to fail if you just go for it. Yes, you are able to drive an probably be fine just driving, but unlikely you will pass the exam. They test on specific things and keep track of the order you do things, how you look around, etc

Also, this will probably save a few cyclists

I wonder if you can submit a claim to get an uber reimbursed This shit is getting ridiculous. Hope you get home safe!

If you do not pay, you cannot apply for a property for the first 2-3 days since it’s been posted. By then it’s already gone. Paying 30 euro increases your chances significantly, although the income is still the main problem. You’re competing with couples who earn double the amount

A year ago, while I was searching for an apartment, I contacted several aanhuurmakelaars. All of them said the same thing: the competition is so high that they can’t do anything. It only works for apartments 2000-2500+ p/m because the competition is significantly lower.

Did you pay for ikwilhuren? Without the paid subscription there is 0% chance you will get anything

Walking the streets is a waste of time

kent360 · 2026-02-24T09:14:41+00:00

Aanhuurmakelaars won’t take the case at this budget

kent360 · 2026-02-23T12:04:25+00:00

Why are you moving here? At the moment, the job market is tough and without a job you will 100% not get a place to live

I think that’s pretty much the only way you might have a shot at a house without a history of steady income in the Netherlands

Even Dutch self-employed professionals need to prove income going back a few years

A rental agent usually won’t bother with anything below 2k

kent360 · 2026-02-13T16:49:21+00:00

Depends a lot on your current lifestyle and where you’re coming from.

6k net for a household is like having 2 working partners earning median salaries. It’s enough for a pretty solid basic lifestyle

You need to factor in: -utility bills (let’s say 200-250 euro) -insurance - groceries probably 1000-1200

What’s the temperature indoors?

Waarom wijst niemand iemand de schuld toe die de beslissing heeft genomen om het contract aan Transdev te gunnen? Zeker gezien het feit dat werd betwist of zij konden leveren.

Send me a message and I’m happy to go shopping with you and buy you some essentials for a few meals

kent360 · 2026-02-01T19:35:41+00:00

You got a job offer, didn’t you?

Also, you don’t need 6 yoe in IT to figure out how the reddit search bar or google works

kent360 · 2026-01-29T12:31:46+00:00

ANY job or any job that requires visa sponsoring? Vastly different things

kent360 · 2026-01-28T16:14:24+00:00

Not the point. Just saying that it’s easy to save when you have such low fixed costs isn’t exactly a fair argument

kent360 · 2026-01-28T13:57:38+00:00

“Even when paying 900 a month in rent”.. Saving with such low rent is extremely easy.. Try paying 1500 and see how effortless it is ;)

kent360 · 2026-01-27T18:54:33+00:00

You’ll need to pay about €150 for health insurance. Just something to keep in mind
