    I also live in the Netherlands, and because I have worked at my current job quite long already, they have a notice-period of 4 months when they want to fire me, and I have 1 month notice-period when I want to quit.

    To be really honest, that is almost absurd for the employer.

      Nah, that is normal.

      A company has many jobs, but a person should only really have one.

      It is much easier to find someone to work than it is to hunt a job yourself. Could even spread the workload a little if they need more time.

      I don’t suppose the Netherlands is immigration friendly and needs infosec people desperately? :)

      (Would it help that I am 1/4 Dutch and really like the Netherlands’ trance scene?? I’m grasping at straws lol)

        That sounds very much like something that the Netherlands might be interested in. If you are a “highly qualified foreigner” (Master-degree counts) you may even see very substantial tax-benefits being given to you by the government (for the first five years 30% of your income won’t be taxed).

        Do you have the Dutch nationality or live in a EU country?

          Alas, no. I wished either was the case.

          Admittedly I was half joking… but also half serious, considering how much more messed up the USA could become soon.
