When everyone works remotely and you are a company with multiple locations, there is less of a requirement for workers to be employed in a particular location.
I think the tide is just starting to go out and the tax harmonisation turned it.
Heard Zurich insurance is moving some of their business to Switzerland so I’d say few others will follow in same direction to be fair
Zuck said it was going to be one of the worst downturns ever didn’t he?
>We could be facing one of the worst recessions in recent history,” Zuckerberg said during a question and answer session with employees.
>”If we’re realistic, it’s likely that a lot of people in the company shouldn’t be here.”
>Reuters have reported that Meta already informed employees internally that they will cut 30 percent of engineers by 2023.
>”Part of my hope in raising expectations, having more aggressive goals and just turning up the heat a little bit, is that I think some of you might decide that this place is not for you, and that self-selection would be fine with me,” Zuckerberg added

I like the word hubris.
A crash is inevitable. Isn’t it?
I work for a large B2B Enterprise SaaS provider with over 5k people in Ireland and they are hiring a lot more staff in Amsterdam for my role since it’s becoming cheaper. They only started hiring for that role in Amsterdam a year ago.
It’s also next to impossible finding french or german speakers with any relevant experience that are willing to move here.
Genuinely the only reason is housing, i’ve interviewed more than 10 candidates that were based either in the German speaking countries or in Ireland. The ones based in Ireland were saying it’s absolutely essential for them to be able to relocate to Amsterdam for the role.
This is for a role where pay is >50k at an absolute minimum (going rate seems to be ~60k at this stage for very minor experience).
Their building in Ballsbridge is undergoing a huge expansion. This makes no sense. I am worried about the traffic that will ensue once the construction is complete.

Amsterdam doesn’t seem much cheaper on housing, although seems quality is a lot better.
The main thing is the [tax benefit for immigrants](https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/en/individuals/content/coming-to-work-in-the-netherlands-30-percent-facility).
I’m probably going to move over next year as well all going to plan. Would save 700e in months on tax on the same salary…
