Anyone done it? I've applied for a post that's better pay than my current role and less responsibility. I'm looking for advise for the transition should it actually happen. Totally off topic I know but I'd be bringing my bike lol. Living costs seem similar. The job is forklift operator for Schiphol airport. My current role is warehouse supervisor and I dispise it. Local jobs are **** pay. Worth it?

Do it. Any opportunity is worth it. Roll the dice. It’s not like you can’t come back.

And the Dutch are a great people. You have nothing to lose.

Says a Brexiter! :D

A tad of inconsistency methinks.

Hmmm. This is what I don't get with you lot.

There is a world of difference between Europe and the EU.

The EU is a political organisation.....
Everything is politics, something that's too rarely appreciated. The EU is the political expression of almost all democratic Europe, the face in the mirror.

My cousin lived in the Netherlands for 10 years with 2 kids and a husband. After 10 years she packed up and left and came back.
She was constantly complaining about everything during her stay, we aren't very close and I never asked in detail but she was clearly not happy.
I hope everything works out better for you.
