@emlove I quit my job on my 30th birthday, with no job to go to. I just decided I wanted to leave Ireland and go live in Amsterdam and if I didn’t “burn the boats” it would never happen. Best. Decision. Ever.
@Frantasaur @emlove Would love to chat. Been to the Netherlands a couple of times and have been contemplating trying to move there for a few years now and possibly starting a business there.
@Caseydunham simplest business you can start is as a ZZPer, a one person company that fulfills contracts (e.g. a software project) for one or more clients. Don’t know how visas for that would work, so it’s probably easier to get a job for 5 years and get permanent residency first (or even citizenship if you don’t mind giving up your existing one). Plenty of tech jobs here, that’s for sure, and would give you time to learn Dutch (handy when running a business).
@Frantasaur @emlove sure… if you can afford it and not have low income and old stuff to pay off and were betrayed by the offices…
@mirabilos @emlove truth was I couldn’t afford it. I had zero savings. I took a risk by taking out a loan to cover my living costs while I looked for a job (obviously did that before I resigned from my old one). Of course I couldn’t have even done that if I had only a min wage job, so I do see your point. 
@emlove @Frantasaur hats off to you then! I couldn’t do that without at least some level of stability.
