Looking for part time jobs as a working student

Hello everyone,

I’m 31 and have worked with MNC Banks across 7+ years based out of India for Europe, UK & US markets.

I’m moving here for an MSc in business administration at Radboud University by the end of August.

I’m looking for part time jobs and was hoping if there are any websites or ways to apply for jobs?

I’m open to any jobs/roles that pays my student living expenses but preferably in MNC banks or consulting firms would be nice. Although I do understand it’ll be difficult.

Can you guys please help me with recommendations or ways to get a part time job as a student? I do intend to start by 1st of September.

Thank you so much in advance! 🙏

31 M Indian planning to move to NL

Hi All,

I’m 31M based in Mumbai India. I got into a MSc in Business Administration at Radboud University in Nijmegen, NL.

I’ve been working since 7 years across financial services (EY & Bank of America).

I do have a good lifestyle here in Mumbai and I get to travel frequently to my hometown in Calcutta. I have a good social life, friends, family in India.

But the thing is, I’m not really sure if I’m doing the right thing by leaving all this behind and start all over again as a student for a better life in NL.

I’m Gay and always wanted a gay friendly place to live, now when I do see it, I’m very happy and excited but I’m also very scared to leave my current life behind (a well paying job, my lifestyle, my close friends and family).

I don’t know what to do and would like to hear your experiences/ thoughts/ suggestions if any.

TIA!
