How to relocate like a pro

Sara Singh

With people joining us from six continents and dozens of countries, it’s no surprise we know a thing or two about relocation. 

We understand this can be a stressful time! Reaktor steps in by taking care of your visa fees, travel costs, a month of accommodation, and more, but it’s still hard to anticipate everything you’ll need to do. And it’s helpful to know what can make the experience a little easier.

There are a lot of websites you can go to for basic suggestions. But wouldn’t it be great to talk to someone who’s been through it before? We thought so, too. That’s why we asked some experts — our employees who have themselves relocated — for their advice on major moves.

From logistical to emotional, here are our top tips on relocation.

Switching your country, your job, all the people around you, and possibly your main language is most likely the largest set of simultaneous changes you'll ever experience. But our team members were able to make a success of it and enjoy the ride. We know you can, too! 

To assist Reaktorians coming from afar, we’ve prepared an Amsterdam Relocation Guide  (with more locations on the way), complete with checklists to help guide you through the process.

Are you interested in joining Reaktor from abroad? We’re always looking for talented individuals with curious minds and infectious energy. Some of our offices even pay for relocation, including visa sponsorship, all insurance, travel costs, temporary accommodation, and more. Check out our openings.
