Comment on Isn't EU's "VAT" a regressive tax? Why do they have that, instead of something like, taxing the rich?

  That is… An interesting way to run things.

  I might have to look into the Netherlands a bit deeper. I know there’s a tax discount for the first 5 or something years so depending on how the job market is for backend devs there right now, it could be pretty good.

    If you get yourself a job offer (not a vacancy) you can get yourself a staying permit. Getting into a school is an option too.

    Tip: go trough frankfurt airport. Much less paperwork and explaining to do there

      Oh, I’m Estonian. I could literally just drive to the Netherlands and not go through a single border check. It’d be a long-ass drive, but with a station wagon it’s easier to take my stuff with me than with a plane.

      Any suggestions for software companies to apply to?

        I would take a train, it’s much nicer. There’s a lot of small companies out there, with varying levels of spaghetti code.

        I can’t give you a straightforward recommendation. But if your ethics are flexible, google hires people here.
