Just a couple quick notes: a) USA has also 90 days business visas that are very easy to get. b) I can't vouch for all countries in the EU, but in many, you only need to fill a report if you lived for more than 6 months there (168 days

Don't want to be a downer, but after many years (15+) a software developer, I'm pretty sure I should have gone to business/economic school. A few things that spring to mind: a) badly paid compared to the value produced (still

If you do go there, please take in account that a lot of the advice there is not really what you want unless you want to look to other 20ish year olds going out to bars/clubs. You will get mileage of going to a decent store and tell th

Kathy Sierra ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Sierra ) had the same problem. There are various industries where this happens (heck, I've seen it happen in local mom and pop shops). I think it is the intersectio

Don't work there but applied a while ago. There was interest from FarmLogs until I mentioned I couldn't move there at least for a while. After that email I got radio-silence, so I assume they don't. ps: not bashing them for t

Can I ask if this taxation note is based on http://i.imgur.com/NWQ7zTM.jpg ? I honestly don't know about Greece, but I can tell you that graph is very wrong in so many levels. For example, Sweden is at 44.5%, but they

Ok, let me go point by point a) you are right. I was only referring to the pre-euro accounting. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. b+c) I don't know the exact figure, but if I remember correctly, private loses were about 20% onl

There are various reasons, and I never said that it wasn't their fault they got into this mess. But lets not pretend it was ALL their fault. But independently of whose fault it is, there are two options: a) try to get to an agreement t

Nope. Last year. Started their service Oct 2013 and left Oct 2014. It maybe area dependent (was in Andalucia) but I heard nothing but bad things about their service from the locals. Manilva (small town) was without internet for 2-3 days dur

I wouldn't mind the downvote but what I can say, you were lucky. Go to Andalucia and ask folks there what they think of Telefonica there.
