The main difference in rentals at the moment between the two countries is that Ireland has about 1500 places for rent on Daft, and the NLs has 15000 on Funda.
Daft has all rentals pretty much, Funda only has a portion of rentals.
The Netherlands is half the size in terms of square km, but 3.6 times the population.
Apartment living is more popular in the Netherlands which helps.
Overall the rental market is worse in Ireland due to a low amount of housing and apartments.
Also the quality of accommodation in Ireland is pretty bad unless you're prepared to pay a lot.
Hi Lenny! Thanks for the fabulous video 😊 I’m currently in Dublin and thinking about relocating to the Netherlands so your video was really helpful in terms of providing perspective. Still researching but thanks so much for taking the time to post this ❤
That’s amazing, best of luck with your move! Thanks for watching ❤️
Great video! Thanks for it. I am moving to Dublin myself in January and I am so excited!
So exciting, good luck with your move!!
Why?🤔
While I can respect enjoying life in the heart of Amsterdam, getting a place a little further outside is not really a problem considering how well connected everything is. Even living in Amstelveen, Hoofddorp, Haarlem, Diemen or Zaandam and commuting to your workplace in Amsterdam is perfectly doable... especially if your company can provide with a transportation card (many do). I'm currently in a student residence complex in Hoofddorp and commute to Amsterdam Zuid almost every day.
Love your videos. Very informative and I'm very impressed of your many talents. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Hey Lenny great video! Really nice of you to share your experiences and impressions! I hope to get to the point where you are some day. Just getting into tech/software and I think I will need some experience first.
Thank for watching and good luck with your career in tech! 🙏
Super helpful video :)
Glad it was useful! ❤️
OMG I miss Dublin. Went there for business trip in spring last year.
Nice video, Lenny. I'm from Indonesia. Where are you from Lenny?
oooh waouhhh, I am pretty sure we worked for the same company in Dublin! I recognised the office and we had the same temporary accommodation. I took exactly the same video in the bathroom lmfao!
You must had a lot of fun!
Super video :D
Summer 2021 in dublin was great perfect wearher for me. Also in amsterdam 2022 was nice and sunny for me.
Wow this video was really good and super helpful to me personally, thank you! I just moved back to my hometown after a year living in Portugal and I'll probably move again soon. Ireland and the Netherlands are definitely two countries I'm interested in (other ones are in my list too).
Also damn English is your third language! Congratulations! I definitely assumed you were American too. I would say I'm pretty fluent in English but I do not sound like that hehe (ma vabbè hai vissuto a Milano, sai come parliamo inglese)
Thanks for watching and happy to hear it was helpful! Good luck with your upcoming move! and haha I miss Milan!! 🇮🇹
Классные видео, делай больше, очень приятно слушать и смотреть! 🙂
i liked how you told your story.
Thanks for watching!
As someone who has lived in Dutch and wants to live in Eire, this is a good one
Good luck with your move!
I think you're very correct in not disclosing your personal details. In fact you possibly gave away too much. Everything is available online.
So, anyone can find out if they really want to.
I've lived in Dublin my entire life,a one bed apartment in Dublin will cost you around €2,000 these days
🥲
If you even find one…
Damn that more expansive than USA . USA depend on the state and city some
States like
Syracuse and Buffola New York rent is 900 usd 650 usd for an apartment 1 bedroom . California the normal rent is 1,500 usd
For a whole home . Omg too expensive. More than USA. I’m
Glad i am
Born in USA . Cause it’s cheaper . My apartment in New Jersey is 1,300 usd for a two bedroom .
Very helpful and informative video, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Love your videos! I'm moving to Amsterdam soon for work as well. I hope you can share more tips on how to find an apartment :)
Advise: pay much 😂
Advise: pay much 😂
בהצלחה🙃
Funny I’m thinking of switching to Dublin. Currently not seeing so many entry roles. Would you be willing to refer if you have any entry PM/strategy roles? Toda raba
Currently working in tech in Amsterdam*
Unless you have a friend or somewhere to stay it's not worth it. Really bad, expensive and no choice.
Are people friendly in ansterdam?
Great information 🙌❤️
Thanks for watching!
I live back n forth btw US and Ireland, and I laughed out loud when you said there was only ONE day on which you didn’t have to wear a jacket… I feel vindicated, and I am going to show this to my Irish husband who says Ireland has lovely summers. 😂 Also, as an American, I can tell you’re not American (though your pronunciations mainly are). A wild guess would be that Spanish and Danish (or maybe German) are your first two languages…😁 Am I even close?!❤
Summer in Ireland you would sweat to death wearing a jumper haha
Both Dublin and Amsterdam are tech hubs, both European, both cool, both EU, both have housing crises, both have high standards of living, as in Berlin, Copenhagen, etc., the big difference is that Dublin is fun and the people are way friendlier
You clearly haven’t been to Amsterdam if you think it’s not fun! It’s a very vibrant and fun city and the weather is a little better than Dublin as well
@@PhaedraTify You’re right. I was in Amsterdam in March. There’s a lot to do and great public transport. I really enjoyed it. I loved the canals. But my last trip opened my eyes to Amsterdam. Maybe my first trip was marred by encountering a few aggressive people.
@@gt4032 True but it helps that there are so many people from all over the world. But yes, too small
I was thinking to move to Dublin, how hard do you think it is to find a pet friendly apartments?
how to find EMA companies? I find it pretty hard to find companies that are ready to visa sponsorship me
Crazy that people are now overbidding for rentals =/ When I was looking a few months back...I was also thinking, "Should I overbid?" because it was so competitive. Luckily, I didn't have to. But thanks for sharing, stumbled upon this while doing research (and looking for inspiration for future video ideas about NL). Nice to see another expat UA-camr in AMS/NL too (there aren't too many), keep it up!
It's illegal to accept overbidding as a renter. Isn't it a lot smarter to have your renter buy you some wine or something
Is it easy to get job from Dublin to Amsterdam?
No mention of the nightlife, the pubs are fantastic in Dublin. No mention of food either or the people in general. Very friendly people in Ireland in general.
Can confirm! The pub culture is amazing for such a “small” city (I come from a big metropolis), very friendly folks, you can surely have fun
I am joining you 😅
Nice 👍🎉
Your camera work is superbe !!
Omg this means a lot!! 🥹 I used to be called out for my shaky footage in my older videos lmao 😂😭
@@lenny.winter it's a docu-like filming and always has an angle from which you depict subjects and city-scapes
fitting the imformation as such.
It has a flow alltogether.
Thanks for the video!!! I'm looking for a job in Amsterdam and a place to stay, yeah is not so easy!
Great video with a lot of informations!
Interesting vlog! Thumbs up from an Amsterdammer👍
Thanks for watching!
Love your videos, I hope someday to live in those countries too. Greetings from Peru
Thanks for watching!
Are people friendly in the netherlands?
In my experience, yes
Hi Lenny - I'm an old guy living near Amsterdam. I was surprised to hear that English is not your native language. You speak fluent English with an American accent which makes it sound as though it is your native language. I'm curious to know what your mother tongue actually is 🙂
She speaks English almost like a native American except for a rare pronunciation quirk once in a while. She mentioned early in her channel she was born in Russia. She learned to speak Chinese and maybe even Hebrew -- two difficult languages for Europeans to learn.
how to get a job that will sponsor in amsterdam?😊
Awesome helpful video & that’s impressive - it’s my goal to be trilingual! Where are you from? I’m not sure if you’ve mentioned it in other videos or something, sorry.
Hey this is amazing content ! I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
I would also appreciate if you could touch upon social circles in Dublin (or other cities). How do you actually make a circle of friends and what kind of activities one could get engaged in?
All the best!
@prettyawesome the video is super helpful. I am sure it is helping all people wanting to move to Amsterdam or dublin. I have one question. how about the language barrier in work place ? Can you just work with English. And what about other companies in Amsterdam?
Just answered this in my most recent video, My Life in Amsterdam! (at 14:25)
ua-cam.com/video/GgqFa85NsBw/v-deo.html
Outside AMS English is less popular. AMS is so well connected by train especially with Eurostar!
Love the Eurostar!! 😍😍
Cool Eastern accent
Where are from?
Ireland is a big country?!
"They have very company friendly taxation" That's one way of putting it I suppose.....
Camera person reveal?!
Can I work in Ireland as a travel associeted or call center? I'm planning to travel to Dublin next year and I wanna know if I can work while I'm studying
Unless you have somewhere to stay, don't bother man, it's an absolute nightmare, unless you want to rent in the middle of nowhere. Housing crisis
Excluding air travel is utter nonesense, Ireland has the cheapest airfares in the world.
What about the food?
Your apartment looks much better then average Dutch person's apartment.
Thanks for watching! I’m actually not showing my apartment in this video, these are clips from my viewings :) but it’s indeed very cute, I’ll show it when I move out haha stay tuned
Shes not average. 😂
You mention and cons about living in each place, you dont mention about the people and culture of each place, I guess you dont want to offend either nationality..
I've been to both cities, and it's a toss-up which is better, although Amsterdam is the more convenient location. As far as saying where you work, I don't blame you for not saying. If anyone knows my name, just Google it and my employment is right there. My income isn't much of a secret either, but if anyone asks I'll tell them there's no need for both of us to cry about it, before telling them. I'm in I.T. in California. It's cheap for me because my house is paid in full and work is extremely close (like five minutes away). There's no reason to move. Good video.
Thanks for your comment and for watching!
Amsterdam is far better than Dublin. Amsterdam is well built and you feel the city vibes. Dublin is like a big town.
Wrong, the pubs in Dublin are the best in the world.
@@johnmc3862Dublin is a glorified expensive shithole.
@@johnmc3862who cares about pubs, that's not a deciding factor
@@wanderingdoc5075I may be starting an all out war here, but this needs to be a bumper sticker 👀
I miss the Asian videos. Isn't it time to fly to HK?
Not anytime soon unfortunately 😢
So where is better to live in your opinion 😅
Amsterdam! 💯 check out my “My Life in Amsterdam” video for more info!
😊😅😮😮😢🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂❤❤😂😂😂😂🎉🎉😢😢😢😮😮😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
i lived in Dublin for 8 months then if even i moved to Amsterdam as you, i miss there unbelievably a lot... moreover bus15A which i used to take to get my home was on your video as well...no more words
thanks a million!
Awww thank you for your comment!
视频很棒! 加油!
The way you move the camera makes me kinda dizzy. 😢
😅😅
Grazie
Your UA-cam page says your location is the United States. I think this is why people think you're from the US. You clearly have a non-US accent to a native English speaker from the US, but I think this may be the source of the confusion. Thanks for the informative video!
I'm guessing you are Canadian, but no matter. Good video. Have a good life.
Your English is excellent and I hope you set the nasty commentor who assumed you were American straight. People assume I'm American by my accent as well and I'm not I'm European they ate often surprised even when I go through customs and they see my passport.
Current Inflation is being driven up mostly by fuel prices,
If we switch to Nuclear power and give greater incentives to buy electric cars (including subsidising and prioritising lithium battery production) this problem will subside substantially over time.
Also, many countries are going for the practical short term measures of taxing fossil fuel company profits to discourage extortionate profiteering…
Overall though, Society’s rejection of Nuclear power was a massive mistake, and the environment has payed dearly for it as we continue to rely on fossil fuels for our electricity.
thats a rip for a poorly insulated aparment 1500 a month you woulda been better off renting a smaller cottage thats rediculiously high thats almost 2 house mortgages rediculous irelanders must be smokin something there to pay that much
I can’t afford to live at home in Dublin the prices are sky high and I like in the UK. Dublin is one of the most expensive cities in the EU to live. Cost of living has always been extortionate. I miss my home so much and my family. It’s impossible to get a place. You’re competing with people from many other countries and feel like we aren’t looked after at all.
Perhaps the previous comment which was referred to in the video about English was misinterpreted and incorrectly construed as a slight, a jibe or insult. The domination of any language removes the essence of cultural identity and promotes societal homogenisation. If you speak two other languages, as I do, there remains the hope that the art of conversation must never deflate to the depths of the slough of despondency.
Fun fact:
I believe you are from USA and a lot of Americans really are looking to get a VISA here in Europe, in the same time like a lot of Europeans are trying to look for a way to gain a VISA for the USA and win the green card.
OMG, I couldn't have imaged the Dutch not allowing dual citizenship! I thought they were tolerant and open minded people. The Belgians don't do such a thing and they're almost half Dutch.
Ga maar lekker belastingbetalen, doei
I am super annoyed by the dutch fake socialist bs. I sit in Dublin the same or is it more capitalist thinking there?
I thought you're from America 😁
So if you're not from USA then it means you from Europe
Dublin is a dangerous city. Extremely expensive too. Alwsys raining too. Mass immigration has also ruined the true nature of the place.
Ive lived in Dublin since 1991 and never had any issues..the north inner city is full of junkys and should be avoided
Every major city has danger…it certainly does NOT rain all the time…it’s quite dry…lived there for 3 years
Not always raining, pure myth by online exaggeraters! It rains a lot but not everyday. There’s still a homely vibe in Dublin, you are going to get mass immigration in a country that grows so much.
@@johnmc3862 IRL has the highest amount of non nationals in all 27 EU nations per capita however. A bit too much really and growing. Public services are so stretched waiting times for hospital consultants is up to 4 years or more and then more waiting for an Operation etc. Totally outrageous in such a wealthy nation.
You are a talented, beautiful and independent woman. I like it. I wish I was your husband.
Go home since you think it's better there
Location 8:54
It's not proNOUNciation. It's proNUNciation.
Thanks! 🙏
