Meet a millennial who moved from Turkey to the Netherlands for better job opportunities: 'At least I can go and earn some money when I am still young'
"There's so many people coming from different countries, whether within Europe or outside of Europe, for better life standards," Yildiz said."I guess it became a normal thing now. For example, Amsterdam has such an expat culture. You keep hearing English everywhere.""We are not sharing our country of origin, but maybe we are sharing more in common," she added.
"I love Turkey, it is a beautiful country with great people," Yildiz said."But currently the economy and politics are in a really sad situation. I felt powerless to change what is happening, and then I said, 'OK, maybe at least I can go and earn some money when I am still young.'"Yildiz currently works as a service designer, where she focuses on"certain services or products and people's experience" with them.
When approaching her 30s, she reevaluated her job. She said that around this age"you start thinking more about the financial parts of your life." She said she didn't necessarily want to say goodbye to Turkey, but she also knew she had work experience and an education in design that she could use to find a job elsewhere.
She does a lot of user research in this position. Her role can consist of doing interviews and"distilling some insights from what I hear."
