Hi,
I moved from the UK to the Netherlands in 2001 with my family, to work in the IT industry there. Since then my two sons have left home and now live in Amsterdam/The Hague.
Living costs have risen a lot over the years and with taxation at around 50% its getting impossible to survive financially.
I have a friend who has been in business in Gibraltar for the past 15 years and he suggested that I should find work in the On-line gaming industry over in Gib.
My wife and I came over for a couple of weeks in April to take a look around and do some networking (we are both Scout leaders and the local Scout leader was very welcoming), plus visiting several of the local recruitment agencies where they were all very positive about the prospects that I would find a good job there.
My wife has work in Gib with my friend and also does special needs teaching - a visit to the Dept. of Education indicated that supply work should also be available.
We have found renters for our house in the Netherlands from the beginning of August so even though I have not found work for myself we have decided to move over - I hope this will be easier once there rather than being somewhat remote in NL.
We are still deciding weather to rent just across the border or stay at one of my friends apartments in Gib.
I would be interested in comments from other Expats who have made the move already.
Mike.
