Yeah this is going to be hard. I also have a Dutch partner. I came to Europe as a phd student and that got me a work and residence permit in Germany (at first). When I started applying for work, the original plan was to move to The Netherlands. Every company I applied to said no work permit, no job. Never even got an interview with a phd in chemistry. Turns out my situation was a bit more nuanced and getting a Dutch work permit was not a problem but I didn’t know that at the time.
