I usually don't comment on HN but needed to ask you: How did your framing work? And can you elaborate "learning my own limits"? It's been 8 years since I graduated. I started working at a Bank in a Management Rotational

There're no EORs (Employer of Record) like Deel etc. operating out of Russia so they'd need you to be legally/officially registered at the very least in Russia. I know someone who did the same and then spend ~6-7 months outsi

Its all relative — I paid $10 for a month in Germany as a resident (comes with full EU roaming). Prices in other EU countries are even cheaper. It took 1 minute to plug it in. Also, travelers from Western countries might not really be ecsta

As a digital nomad + business traveler, eSims are total misdirection and more cumbersome experience: Case in point - I stay in Country A (home country) for 3 months, Country B for 2 months, and then C for 3 months, back to A. Until now I us

Its not. It is indifference which leads to the very few - who can hold the power - to continue holding it unobstructed and play their narrative with propaganda because they themselves know that even if people realize this is BS, they'd

I myself have a difference of exactly one year from my real birthdate and official one. Why? Because in 80s/90s India, it was common to have 'official' birthdate extended with expectation that this will result in one addition

I see your point and agree - Substack etc may exist today but might not in 2-3-5y down the line and it'd be valuable to have hold of your own writing from Day 1. On a different note, what has been the value of "creative posts&quot

I have been using Wise (formerly TransferWise - which is how I still refer to it) for close to 8-9 years at this point...and this UX/UI design is one of the most horrific and unpleasant one I have seen in years. It is not one of those

Just wanted to mention out there that this is one of the topmost reasons why I left Germany (and moved back to Asia). - Lack of political will to fix the bureaucratic mess: I had to come to Immigration Office standing in the queue at 3-4am

Question to folks who respond and experienced managers: how do you deal with peer managers who're not as supportive and out to get you? Context: I joined a startup and I'm leading a new function for this org. While I have decent

Strong disagree with that one and this is a fairly unambitious take. Most companies and employees themselves in the EU buy their own kool-aid of "yeah we are ok with getting paid $40k because we got health insurance" (which does n
