work in the Netherlands

I find it hard to make friends, difficult to learn the Dutch, fit into the local culture and integrate into the local community. Does this sound like your expat life in the Netherlands?

Only 36% of expats relocating to the Netherlands find it easy to make friends here and 55% have concerns about the barriers that the local language put up. According to the survey, expats find the Dutch culture hard to fit in to and integrating in to the local community is far from easy here.

The difficulty of making friends in the Netherlands, particularly with the locals, is a common expat problem. On the other hand the Dutch speak good English and are well known for there bilingual skills. This makes communicating with locals a lot easier.

Aside from this working  in The Netherlandshas a lot of perks. You need to look in to this properly because the EU, EEA and Switserland all have different regulations about working in the Netherlands
