We're planning to move to the #Netherlands from Germany next year. If anyone here happens to know of any useful resources or communites (forums, chat groups, discord servers if need be) that might be helpful for us with the job and housing markets or emigration in general, or just job openings interesting employers or anything else, please let me know! ❤️
More specific info: my girlfriend is a statistician with a recent master's degree looking to work in epidemiology research or something adjacent. I'm a computer scienctist with a hopefully soond finished master's degree and looking to work in, well. Freelancer, maybe? Or type theory research? We're not set on a specific place, but a city not too small or remote would be good.
@eisfunke A couple tips on living location in particular:
- Transport-wise it tends not to matter too much where you live, we don't really have 'rural' here
- Anything in the Randstad is likely to have good public transport connectivity, including towns you've never heard of
- However, there is a *huge* difference in how easy it is to deal with different municipalities; eg. Dordrecht is always being super difficult and rigid about everything, whereas Den Bosch is very easy-going on the bureaucracy
I'd definitely recommend centering your choice of place to live around "what has the good vibes to you?" and cost-of-living first and foremost, and then just double-checking afterwards that you can get everywhere you need to get, because it will most likely be Fine(tm)
