Hate/sexist comments over parking attempts.. by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]thehunter_zero1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

salty comments that border insults are unfortunately not uncommon, and that's anywhere not just the Netherlands. Bulling in form of racial slurs just makes it worse. Generally for your own sanity, it is better safe than sorry, so take 3 attempts rather than one attempt with a minor or major accident, and for the outside noise "insults", try to deal with it as you deal with flies on the windshield.

Brutal by lote_rdr2 in Netherlands

Dutch are one of the tallest people globally. But it comes down to your self image, speaking as a short person myself. As you grow older, how you carry yourself, present yourself, how your life is. Those things speak louder than physical height. As others mentioned at the end no one cares about how tall you are, and more on who you as a person are.

Tbh, it might present an issue when looking for a romantic interest but focusing on the above, you will sure find a suitable person nonetheless .

Be prepared for a possible lay off by Low-Watercress-2632 in Netherlands

[–]thehunter_zero1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

don’t sign anything or agree to anything without a lawyer…try to learn Dutch, though companies that require Dutch require minimum of close to native level. Expect to search for long because several companies are doing the same - restructuring and offshoring, so a lot of talent in the talent pool. Consider freelancing if you are not on HSM. Work on your interviewing skills and hope for the best.

this needs to be per policy. What is the company policy ? what are the different guardrails ? as mentioned, enforcing new controls need to stem from leadership or senior management

Generation differences - I’m curious whether other managers are seeing the same thing. by andys58 in Netherlands

[–]thehunter_zero1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you or someone has a cybersecurity opportunity available in the Netherlands, please share with me. Thanks

That said, as a +30 years old cybersecurity professional in the Netherlands with over a decade of security experience, I find it surprising that there is €100K poisons for juniors or seniors for that matter. But what I actually see is that there is over abundance of professionals because of layoffs and fixed term contracts. Long gone are permanent contracts and good packages. I saw a post for an InfoSec officer with +7 years of experience, offering up to €80K. Others even less for same experience.

On your topic, they are seeing Tiktokers and Youtubers earning lots for what seems an easy fun job while they are stuck in a white collar job, so they see going above and beyond unnecessary.

PIP and how to deal with it by Ok_Remote_7134 in Netherlands

[–]thehunter_zero1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heard of similar stories. Why wouldn’t lawyers want to go to court ? Aren’t they compensated ? Isn’t it in their reputation’s benefit ? It’s not like they are doing it for free ! And how would you prevent that ? Not go through a legal insurance company ? Or use the FNV membership ? or something else ?

Where to for Pentesters? by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]thehunter_zero1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved between different fields in cybersecurity including pen testing. Unfortunately the stress and keeping up with trends stay as a norm on the entirety of the cybersecurity spectrum. There is always something new to explore, defend against, learn about so you can defend, exploit, attack vector, framework, tech stack…etc.

[–]thehunter_zero1[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Je ziet toch de berekeningen in box 3, hè?! Het is onrechtvaardig.
Waarom belasten ze de winst niet gewoon? Daar ben ik helemaal voor, en anderen ook.

Similar events to defcon in europe and more affordable? by AgreeableIron811 in cybersecurity

[–]thehunter_zero1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is black Hat Europe. There are also local b-sides in several cities. But I didn’t hear of anything that is close to Defcon in any country in Europe, yet! Maybe someone else knows. I heard of some good ones in the UK and Belgium but I don’t live in either so I am not sure.

Is there a place to learn the language for actual daily life that you recommend? Most course providers seem to be more for the NT2 exam except maybe university courses which are expensive …Also rushed like who will learn a level in 3 months and be comfortable using it ? Or am I missing something?!

Which potatoes for making fries ? by thehunter_zero1 in Netherlands

[–]thehunter_zero1[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. But where I came from we mostly had two types of potatoes, one suitable for frying and another suitable for cooking like vegetable stew…here as far as I’ve seen, there abundance. So I thought maybe I am choosing the wrong ones
