My strategy for this class of issue is paying Google. I pay for Google Apps (now rebranded to workspace). I have so much of my life tied up into the Google Ecosystem I see no problem paying per month for their services. This also provides me a number to call when shit doesn't work.
this is frustrating because I have diplopia and so my life looks like: https://i.imgur.com/IHWBflS.png when you have white text on a black background. This affect doesn't happen on "light" mode systems...

I have only worked for a single company, and it's a very international. Everyone speaks English. There is close to zero written or spoken Dutch.
This is in Amsterdam though, where a lot of people both within my company and outside speak English. If you go else where in the country, outside of North Holland, people defiantly speak less English and it's more advantageous to know Dutch.
I personally learned Dutch because I didn't feel like I could really assimilate without it.
I've worked in NL for three years, I had zero problems with lack of formal degree. It isn't even required here in NL for a 'highly skilled migrant' visa.
