New Horizons: Paul's Journey to Cybersecurity Success in the Netherlands

Moving to a new country is never an easy decision, especially when relocating not just yourself but your family too. However, for Paul, a 35-year-old Cybersecurity Engineer from the Philippines, this leap of faith was made possible by the specialized support of Wypoon Technologies, a Dutch IT consultancy agency that specializes in matching the right IT talent with suitable businesses in need of IT experts. Paul's story doesn't only take us through his emotional and logistical journey of his relocation but it also demonstrates the importance of adaptability and openness to have faith in others. In this case, Paul put his trust in the Wypoon team who brought to the table continuous assistance and transparency.

"I said, Yeah, let's do it."

When questioned about the difficulty of making the decision to relocate to a completely different country and culture, Paul responds honestly and with a smile on his face: "Before, when I was single, I worked in Singapore for a year, and the decision was very easy," Paul recounts. "But now, with a wife to consider and expenses, it was tougher." Even if the decision appeared to be based on more complex criteria than previously, Paul recognized that this may be a one-time opportunity after receiving the necessary emotional support from his wife. "After the first talk with my wife, I said, 'Yeah, let's do it.'"

With almost no logistical obstacles, Paul found himself on an emotional rollercoaster soon before departing for the Netherlands. "Just a week before I arrived here, everything changed. It was like, 'Hey, it's kind of like going quickly. I want to take it slowly," Paul recalls. "I just wanted to cherish the moments with my family."

"Wypoon did all the legwork,"

Navigating a foreign employment market may be difficult, and it is nearly impossible to find the ideal fit for both parties involved. Fortunately, when engaging with potential future employers, Paul discovered complete help in the expertise of Wypoon Technologies. "Wypoon did all the legwork," Paul says. "I just showed up for interviews and demonstrated my abilities. They did everything else to bring me here."

As Paul adjusted into his new surroundings, he faced minimal difficulties in adjusting to a foreign culture and work environment. "I don't really consider I have really integration challenges, except the main challenge right now is the language," Paul acknowledges. "So I need to study like French and Dutch at the same time. But that's mainly it!"

"You work while also enjoying your life."

One of the most significant and positive shifts Paul underwent was in his work-life balance. Working in the Netherlands is an entirely different experience for him than in his native country. "Here, when they say work-life balance, it's really work-life balance." Paul noticed, "You work while also enjoying your life." "The employer is concerned about your mental and physical well-being. And there is no doubt that they care; they honestly do! " Furthermore, Wypoon Technologies constantly strives to fulfil the standards of both IT talent and IT companies, resulting in the ideal IT match!

Despite the obvious geographical and time zone variations from his own country, Paul maintains in close contact with his friends and family back home. "I call my wife every night after I come home from the office, and I call my mom and dad every weekend," Paul explains.

"This is exactly the escape I needed!

Looking ahead, Paul sees a future filled with professional and personal growth prospects in the Netherlands. "I don't see myself hunting for new chances anymore. "I intend to stay in the country for as long as I can," Paul says. "This is exactly the escape I needed! "And I got it!"

Finally, with Wypoon Technologies at his side, Paul has found not just professional success, but also a renewed sense of belonging in the Netherlands. As he continues to discover new frontiers, Paul's narrative serves as a testimony to the limitless opportunities that await those who dare enough to grab them.
