I've been where
you are. All of it.
The BSN confusion on day one. The housing scam I almost fell for. The health insurance fine nobody warned me about. I've lived in the Netherlands for over 10 years and worked in the Dutch tech industry.
ExpatPilot is the tool I wished existed from day one — and the companion I still use today.
