Extraordinary recruitment by Shaunna Campher

A lot of engineers are used to looking at work in a practical way. Is the project interesting? Is the team decent? Are the conditions good? Fine, then you are already a long way there. And still, the real quality of a next step usually sits a bit deeper.

On the 23rd of June we celebrate Women in Engineering day! We would like to tell you the story of Camila and her journey from Brazil to the Netherlands in a male dominated field

Working in another country sounds exciting. And often, it is. A strong project, a different setting, maybe a role that suits you better than the one you have now. From a distance, it can look like a fairly simple next step. And sometimes it is. But usually, there is a bit more to it than the role alone. For most engineers, the real question is whether the whole thing fits once normal life begins. The work itself, the team, the language people actually use, the travel, the weekly rhythm. That is usually the point where an idea starts to feel either right or not quite right.
