While very useful, I am tired of working exclusively from home. I also stopped learning (nature of the job changed), and I don't want to spend most of my time doing engineering work. I also have some personal reasons on no longer wanting to work for americans.
Ideally I get to do something new and interesting but I'm kind of trapped in this golden cage. There is very little interesting deep tech in Belgium. There's some LLM stuff happening, but it seems very surface level. There are some cool companies solving optimization problems, but that is not really my background. Typical salaries are also low.
How do I progress from here?
EDIT: As some of you noticed, brutto/netto is not compatible. I think I've been accidentally overpaid, in which case it looks like I'm legally fucked.
