I can wholeheartedly recommend Amsterdam (or surrounding places).
Everyone speaks English, pay is good, and work-life balance makes a lot of difference.
Commutes are generally short, you get ~26 paid holidays per year (sick leave is separate from that)...
- MrQuincle 8y agoA lot of cities in the Netherlands are easy to reach by public transport. Car is also fine. Pay is of course lower than in the Bay area. Culture wise it's sometimes hard to make friends with the Dutch. It depends on how you spend your spare time. Playing a sport, going to parties, going to group lessons in a gym, etc. is essential to make Dutch friends later in life.
- HelloNurse 8y ago> A lot of cities in the Netherlands are easy to reach by public transport. Easy to reach and very close to each other. In particular, the Schiphol airport also has a major train station; it's very close to Amsterdam and Haarlem, but suitable for most of western Netherlands.
- ur-whale 8y agoIt rains a lot in Amsterdam.
- aiisjustanif 8y agoAmsterdam is expensive.
- raarts 8y agoOnly smack in the city center. The area where I live is average rent around 900€, and just a 15 min bike ride from the heart of the city.
