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.

Oh yes, very soon, they’re building it now is about how it would go. Once Rail Baltica gets built, it’ll be not only feasible, but by far the better option. I’d just need to get someone to ship me my shit, which is inconvenient because computer hardware is expensive and brittle if not packed correctly.
