Hello all,
My name is Joop and I am a software testengineer from Amsterdam.
I joined this club to get more used to the English language when it comes to testing.
Hope to learn a lot.
Greetz,
Joop

Hello Hawu,
Thank you for connecting!
After I got certified as a TMap Suite Software Test Engineer, and updated my LinkedIn profile with that, I receive quite a lot of emails from recruiters who offer new jobs.
So yes, the market for Testers is big these days.
Fortunately I am very happy at my job and with the company where I work, so I am not interested to switch jobs.
One of the companies who mails me the most is https://layer.nl/ Here you can find many testjobs.
Meetings about testing in The Netherlands are mostly organised by Exin. There website is also in English: https://www.exin.com/en
At the moment I do not know about a testmeeting that is soon, but I will remeber this and let you know as soon as I know about one.

Hey!
TMmap is the Dutch version of ISTQB right? But do ISQTB is also recognized as a valid certificate or not? Btw. do you know any website, to compare salaries on the Dutch QA market?
Regards,
Hubert

ISTQB is also recognized. So if you have that, you’re good.
Here are two salary comparison sites (must know Dutch, loonwijzer has options for other languages)

Good to know, and thanks for sharing. I have to do a research about testers/QA’s positions and salaries in Amsterdam, because I was there only twice and fell in love with the city immediately. Have a nice day
