Hi, I’m currently in the middle of 2 potential immigration processes. I’m a 35yo professional with a 41yo partner, 1yo baby and a dog. We decided to leave our country, due to its perpetual economic and political issues and started looking for options in Europe. So, after some very frustrating months of research, I find myself in the position to make choices and I would love to get your input (since you don’t know me and will probably be less biased than my friends who live in either place)
A) My current employer wants to retain me and offered a relocation package to Amsterdam with a new position.
B) A company that had offered me a job in my current country of residence a couple of months ago ( I said no, because I’m not staying) called me to offer a relocation package to Madrid.
I like both positions, salaries and benefits are similar and my partner makes a considerable salary in euros too, between both salaries we could have a comfortable life for sure.
My husband is a contractor developer and he can work remotely from anywhere, but the tax situation would be something potentially conflicting.
Daycare is my main concern, when we get to finally migrate my kid will be about 16 months old and I would love to have great daycare options for him, so he can socialize and we can go to work knowing he is safe.
And then, healthcare is my other big concern, I’m not familiar with either healthcare system and I have read contradictory opinions on both.
So, based on your experience, what do you think? Amsterdam or Madrid?
Thanks for your help!
