    A lot of IT companies in NL hire foreigners. There’s just too little local offer. They throw with work visas as a result, because they’ve never heard about remote-first work being possible after covid. They can’t modernize their work culture because of stupid old fashioned managers and as a result NL has one of the worst housing crisis in Europe. And pay ain’t that good either in a lot of cases, taking into account how much you lose on rent.

      the problem is at least on the U.S end, San Jose is part of the Silicon Valley. Talent is not the problem, its the people who ultimately choose to hire is going out of its way to hire talent that seemed non local.
