you can land a job in NL in IT ok with a bit of a portfolio. once you have that you can get an proof of your working level to get admitted to other educations if you like but imo its not needed. i got mbo and work in IT at a decent level / wage. Theres a big need for people with actual skills in IT here. maybe if you want a more chill job try something like TNO. if you can prove your skills (via resume/portfolio) they can drop their requirements and take you on as programmer/researcher. such a place is a long way away from corporate hell. theres not the best startup culture here but theres some decent startups where you can also apply to get out of corporate if that doesnt do it for u. startup culture is usually hard work but more chill on a people level. try to work at places 2-3 years so it doesnt hack up your resume. but its normal to change jobs until you find a place right for you. dont worry about being you :) theres a good place for everyone.
