Hi 👋
I’m moving from Ireland to Amsterdam in April 2025 I was just wondering how hard it is to find a job there.? ( I don’t speak Dutch as of yet but I am learning ) I have a masters degree and good qualifications. Would love to get some advice .

From what I've heard if you have at least a few years of experience, it seems >4 years, then finding a job without speaking Dutch can be relatively easy. A big determinant is what industry you're in. The bigger tech companies, and IT jobs, are very much English-using. Ones that deal with B2B interactions tend to ask for fluent Dutch, but again that becomes less so with more senior positions.

Of course I'm only a recent graduate so I'm not speaking from experience, just what I've heard and seen when looking for jobs myself.
