Interestingly the Dutch have been very keen to capture Tech companies (or at least make it an attractive place for employees). There is a low flat tax rate (30% iirc) for some years (was 5 when I last checked) if you're working in an "in-demand" sector, and tech is one of those sectors. This is somewhat controversial from what I understand, not all of the Dutch like it, and I understand why: it's not really very fair…

If the company were to breach GDPR, which regulator would enforce it? If UK law would require backdoors in a way that conflicts with GDPR, how could they remain compliant?
Backdoors for a calendar app no one's heard of? No offence, but bigger fish to fry. And why would the company breach GDPR if it's making such a fuss about sticking to it?

Honestly what we need in the UK is a Back to the EU campaign that formulates a long term strategy for returning. In two decades England's Baby Boomer generation will no longer hold the reigns of power in the country (please God) and those in charge will have come from a generation that overwhelmingly voted Remain.
As other have mentioned the status quo is now something entirely different and “remain” won’t mean much in a decade.
Why posted on the personal blog instead of the company site?
It's a smart move, though you do see thru it all over the years.

Step 0: start driving on the right side of the road Step 1: adopt the euro Step 2: improve education for all ages and groups about misinformation, propaganda, etc. to reduce the chances of a bus driving around london from making you change your minds again in 4 years Step 3: apply to enter as an equal into the EU, instead of trying to cut some half assed deal for half the rights and half the benefits

I really have trouble telling Dutch words from hand smash in keyboards. I love it.
My favorite is the word "angstschreeuw" (cry/shout of fear), which is the word with the most consecutive consonants in the Dutch dictionary.

Spain has the Beckham law - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckham_law - though it might not survive much longer.
Sweden has a similar policy but you need to earn over ~120,000 euros: https://www.forskarskattenamnden.se/forutsattningarforskatte...
I was really close to moving to NL to take advantage of that (vs. the insane taxes in Sweden) but unfortunately at the time I got the offer they were still in full lockdown restrictions.
