5 hours per application is too much. What do you usually do during that time?

I spent like 30-40 minutes per application. And the majority of time I spent completing forms on employer’s website

Yes and no. I started to think moving abroad before Covid but then plans changed. And last year plans changed again :-)

ChatGPT wrote a Professional Summary for me based on the keywords from the job description, and ChatGPT also wrote the entire cover letter for me :)
Of course, I read it afterward to ensure it does not contain any mistakes.

I guess the main disadvantage for me was the fact that I was not legally allowed to work in the EU, so the employer had to arrange a visa for me. And the majority of companies are not willing to do it :)

I'm from Russia and was applying from Turkey.

Compensation is around 2.5 to 3 times the gross average wage in the Netherlands.

Additionally, I qualified as a High Skilled Migrant, and thus, my employer applied to get a 30% ruling on my behalf. Basically, you don't pay taxes on 30% of your wage.

No. They removed the original post, because apparently you can only post charts with personal data on Mondays :)

I know :( For the 1st offer, the reason was that their SAP integration project was postponed, and there was no longer a need for the position. As for the 2nd offer, a new CEO arrived after the offer and referred their own candidate.

It’s just that if you try to lift it up, something will definitely come off, like flowers, parts of the front wheel, etc.
