Enzo's key message: “I like to use dutchnews.nl to know what’s going on in “my” country."


My biggest challenge
I’m an affiliate manager at Degiro, an online stockbroker that has grown to be one of the largest retail stockbrokers in Europe. The company’s rapid growth has given me a huge challenge and great rewards; I get to experience the perfect mix between a start-up and a very large company.

My advice & top tips
Get in touch with and meet some VIEs via Facebook groups and WhatsApp. They will probably be in the same frame of mind as you so it’s the best way to have some people to party and/or travel with.

Quirky & cultural
I’ve discovered that a working day in the Netherlands starts early but finishes early too. This means that there’s not really an official lunch break. There are lots of company perks available, such as gifts, bonuses, free public transport, gym discounts, etc. The Dutch are very nice but also very direct; if they have something to tell you, they will clearly say it.

And finally
Make sure you get to the seaside town of Zandvoort to see a sunset. Failing that, there’s a Formula 1 racetrack at Zandvoort too!
