Which apps do you use. I am thinking to invest some in stocks. Does any one has any recommendations on which apps to use? If there are any good local companies to invest? Also your views on crypto?

I am planning to join any sport school or any place where they teach you self defence. Can anyone share any tips?

I have to pass dutch at B1 level and the schools recommended by gemeente are expensive as hell. They help with loan but later we have to still pay it along with interests. I am looking some tips that can help.

I have to do inburgering at B1 level and my current level is between A1 and A2. I am looking for some options to reach B1 level in some time with a course that doesnot cost alot. The municipality recommended courses and schools costs more than 2000 euros.
Any help would be good!

I oive in the hague area currently!

Thanks!

Any insights would be helpful.

Hi everyone,
I’m curious if anyone here is working in a warehouse job in the Netherlands.
How do you like it overall? Is it manageable long-term, or just something temporary?
How do you stay positive during the work, especially on long or physically tiring days?
Also, if you’re comfortable sharing, what’s the salary like and do you feel it’s enough to live on in the NL?
Would really appreciate hearing real experiences — the good and the bad.
Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I’m trying to get back into IT and aiming for an entry-level IT support / helpdesk role.
I’m currently planning to study for these certifications:
CompTIA A+

ITIL 4 Foundation

Microsoft 365 Fundamentals (MS-900)

Microsoft Modern Desktop Administrator

Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900)

My goal is to get hired as soon as possible (service desk / IT support), then grow into more advanced roles later.
A few questions:
Are these certs still relevant in 2026 for landing a first IT job?

Would just A+ + ITIL be enough to start applying?

Am I overdoing it with all 5, or is this a solid path?

Anything you’d swap out or prioritize differently for the market?

For context: I’m okay starting at 1st line support and working my way up.
Would really appreciate any advice.
Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I’m honestly writing this because I feel really lost and could use some real advice or even just hearing from people who’ve been through something similar.
I moved to the Netherlands for love, and I don’t regret being with my partner at all. But career-wise… I feel like I’ve completely lost direction. Back home, I was working towards a future in networking/IT and imagined myself in a stable office job. Now I’m working 40 hours a week in a warehouse, earning around €2500, constantly on my feet, and it’s taking a toll on my health—both physically and mentally.
What makes it harder is the feeling of being judged for doing this kind of work, even though I know work is work. Still, it’s not something I see myself doing long-term, and every day I feel more drained and honestly a bit hopeless.
I’ve tried other things like food delivery, but nothing really fits. I also don’t have friends or family here, so it gets pretty isolating. My partner is supportive, but I don’t want to put all this weight on them either.
I guess what I’m asking is:
Has anyone moved to the Netherlands and managed to rebuild their career from scratch?

Especially in IT or something office-based?

How did you do it? Courses, networking, certifications, language, something else?

How did you stay mentally strong during the transition?

I really don’t want to leave this country or my partner, but I also can’t keep going like this forever.
Any genuine advice, stories, or even just some encouragement would mean a lot right now.
Thanks for reading.
