they’re expanding, so most likely hiring. the world can’t get enough of the 2 nm chips (not much more smaller after that for probably a decade).
they’re building machines as fast as they can. I’m a CNC machinist and have made plenty of parts for them and have friends that assemble cleanroom parts for them.
plenty of work to go around.
you don’t even need to speak Dutch there, English is fine.
and guess what? we even have great public transportation.
come one come all, apply today!
and get away from that hellhole the US has become. it used to be us (one for all, all for one), now it’s just them the elite.
I lived there 24 yrs, from the golden age of silicon valley (late 90s) to its inevitable enshittification. glad I got out before it’s demise.

as a European formerly living in silicon valley… we are working on it. and thanks to the orange turd in charge it’s been fast-tracked. and when all hell breaks loose, we’ll just stop sending ASML machines your way. best of luck idiots (not all of you)

eh, in the Netherlands we would just cut off all their datacenters, maybe even the internet hub we have to the US.
so go ahead
