En cual lugar decidiste quedarte?

Studying in the US at an American university and trying to get a job in the Netherlands is only going to make his job search x1000 harder.

Because of EU laws, a company in NL basically can only hire a foreigner if someone in NL is not capable (or if they cannot find that person) to do the job. So he’s essentially having to prove that he can do the job better than someone who is in NL already.
