Yuri Shishkin spoke about doing business with partners from Amsterdam and asked IT specialists from Russia about moving, living and working in this city. And also calculated the cost of living in the Netherlands.

When moving abroad, Russian specialists often prefer innovative companies The United States or dynamically growing Asian brands, and from European countries choose the UK and Germany, leaving the quiet Holland with its measured life only for tourist trips.

In vain: the labor market in the Netherlands is in great need of IT professionals. Few of them come from local universities, and employers often invite programmers or designers from abroad. For this reason, many companies here are international: you can meet people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia.

How we established links with Amsterdam

Four years ago, our agency developed a service for LG Electronics that links the product card in the manufacturer's online catalog with the retailer's website. To do this, we used the Yandex.Market API, but later decided to develop our own platform and closed access to the API.

Having studied foreign solutions, we found that the Dutch company Hatch has an analogue. We held a meeting in Moscow and eventually became Hatch's official partner in implementing the Where to buy service in Russia.

Other corporate culture

Every time I come to Hatch, I notice different features company work.

For example, the level of order. All important meetings and calls are held here exclusively according to the calendar, the team uses the corporate one. Drafting contracts, invoicing and maintaining other important documentation is fully automated using various tools, such as the PandaDoc document management service and HubSpot CRM.

But what is most surprising is how much attention our Dutch partner pays to building relationships in the team. Management always strives to keep the team informed about what is happening, using the most unusual means for this, for example, visualizing the progress of work. Let's say a company has set a goal of signing 10 contracts. To show how this process is moving, they put a plastic pipe in the office and put colored balls into it. When it's full, it's sure to be celebrated with a cold Heineken.

Celebration of one's successes is generally an important point in the work of Dutch companies. In Russia, this is much less developed: sometimes half of the office does not even know that the company won the tender, received an award, got into the rating.

In general, it is pleasant to do business with the Dutch - they are attentive to their partners, approaching relationships in almost the same way as B2C: they keep the history of relations, record all agreements. There is a lot of respect in this.

During another trip to Amsterdam, I talked to several IT specialists from - they talked about how they moved and how they work here.

Saint Petersburg - Antwerp - Amsterdam

I've been developing since 1999. Until 2012, he lived in St. Petersburg and collaborated with both large companies and startups, even managed to work for the Pension Fund. In 2005, I got a job at international company Alcatel-Lucent and began to travel frequently on business trips to Europe, where he looked for the first point of relocation - Belgian Antwerp. Alcatel-Lucent had a branch there, and they practically transferred me: they issued a visa, paid for and organized the transportation of things, and provided housing for the first time.

I spent about three years in Antwerp, after which I realized that it was too small for me (only 250 thousand inhabitants). Amsterdam, with a similar level of comfort and friendliness, but with a population of 3 times more, seemed to me more lively and dynamic, and I moved there - first to work at BackBase, and then to Hatch.

Hatch had an unusual international team: an IT architect from Ukraine, a frontend developer from Moscow, a UI/UX designer from Armenia, and myself, a senior backend developer from St. Petersburg. At that time, specialists from Greece, Australia, France, and Great Britain also worked in the company.

There is a stereotype that the Dutch are very straightforward, they always say what they think. But I would not say that in this they are somehow different from the Russians. It is quite comfortable to work with them - unlike, for example, the British, who, in my opinion, are much more difficult for Russians to understand.

The corporate culture here relies on an informal approach: management does not fence off from employees, everyone goes on vacation together, and they organize beer parties on Fridays. A cool feature at Hatch was voting for the best colleague of the week. The winner received an envelope with some kind of prize: a day off for a couple of hours, a flyer for free pizza, etc.

Arseniy, 37, Technology Strategy Director (Enterprise Architect), BinckBank

Saint Petersburg - Amsterdam

My education has nothing to do with what I have been doing for the last 15 years. I am an Ethiopian by profession, I graduated from the Oriental Faculty of St. Petersburg State University, but as soon as I got access to the Internet, I started making websites. Passion for computers grew into work, then into his own business and projects for companies in the US, UK and continental Europe.

In 2014, I had a client that changed my life - the Dutch startup Pritle, which automated the management of investments in the stock markets. They needed a specialist who would manage the development, architecture and all things related to technology. So in 2015 my family and I moved to Amsterdam. The decision was difficult, but fast.

In six months, three more colleagues from St. Petersburg joined my team. Getting a work visa for this is very easy. Must prove to the IND (Immigration and Naturalization Service) that the company is innovative and difficult to hire the right people in the Netherlands. The process is devoid of bureaucracy and goes very quickly: a week to apply and about two more weeks to obtain a residence permit.

After a couple of years of running a startup, my colleagues and I realized that we had exhausted our growth opportunities and moved under the wing of the online broker BinckBank, where I am responsible for strategy at the level of the bank itself.

Holland is a terribly socialist country. If you have a permanent contract, then it is almost impossible to fire you. Maybe that's why the Dutch are not the most hardworking nation in the world, I almost never met workaholics. It is very important for them to have hobbies, spend time with family, play sports. That is, living a full life is more important than working.

Dutch is hard to learn because everyone in Amsterdam speaks English. But the Dutch from the hinterland are no less shocked than foreign tourists by such metropolitan phenomena as coffee shops and the red light district.

After five years of living in Holland, you can pass a simple language exam and apply either for citizenship (in this case, you will have to give up Russian) or for a permanent residence permit. Both are given almost unconditionally, if you have not had fines of more than 800 euros over the past three years.

Moscow - Amsterdam

By education I am a computer systems engineer, since 2006 I have been professionally engaged in web development. I always traveled a lot and did not leave the idea of ​​living in another country. At the same time, I studied English, signed up for Skype interviews with Western companies.

In 2015, the events in Crimea, the collapse of the ruble and the wave of jingoistic patriotism gave me the impetus to change the situation. In parallel, my close friend went to work in Spain. All this convinced me that it was time to pack my suitcase.

Despite the fact that I lived in Moscow for almost 10 years and worked in a comfortable position at , I started sending out resumes. Initially, I aimed for Berlin, because I had been there many times and I really love this city, but on the advice of a friend, I also responded to one vacancy in the Netherlands.

I passed a test task and a series of interviews, flew to a personal meeting - and now I have been working at Catawiki for more than two years.

Our team consists of almost a hundred people distributed between two offices: in Amsterdam and in Assen, the administrative center of the province of Drenthe in the north-east of the country. We have an international staff: in addition to the Dutch, there are employees from Italy, Greece, Russia, Belarus, Armenia - in total, there are more than 40 nationalities. There are a lot of guys from the CIS, and they are all very cool.
