Good on you man, you did your dues back home and it paid out when you came here. Let people say what they want to say.. it is just jealousy. When you talk about your job you just basically start glowing, wouldn't we all want a job that made us that happy? Good luck with whateverr the future brings man.

Man, yeah it definitely cost a lot to move our lives here. We also did the DAFT visa (with my wife's business) and, even though it's pretty straight forward, things add up quickly. I've found the job hunt to somewhat challenging (this is why I was in Haarlem the other day!). First job: Janitor.

Yooooohh be proud the way you got to this point. You did it and found everything out by yourself. Of course you missed some benefits by not not being transfered by the company. But you got a lifetime experience. I tried it twice in my life as traveler and learned tons of things. I didn't reached my end goal (emigrating from the Netherlands) but I'm a well experienced world traveler and I'm not afraid to make big steps in life

If you get transferred you should make sure you can apply as a “knowledge worker” and take advantage of the 30% ruling. Not only for the tax break but the best perk is that you can transfer your US Driver license!

I admire the hell outta the fact that you moved abroad WITHOUT a job lined up, something that some might see as irresponsible or reckless, but you made the calculated risk and took the leap, backed by your savings, your hustle, and your family. Your kids were born in the US right? Also, how DID you move to the Netherlands without a job? Did you just go over as a tourist and have a 3 month deadlinw to line something up? Would love to know those details on the visa side. Also: my first job was for a landscaping company. I only lasted like 2 months at that job 😂

Best way to get a job today is to "maximize your self worth" in that field. Know how to sell yourself, and note nothing is given, it is rather earned. 1.) do personal projects and document them. ( Eg. KZbin, blogs, websites, estes.etc.) 2.) learn to master your craft. 3.) improve reading and writing grammar and vocabulary. 4.) thank positive and avoid putting other down. Learn to communicate and express the proper way. Best of luck.
