40k Euro per year, gross. This comes out to about 28k after tax, depending on your marital and family status. This is more than enough to live on - if you're smart, you can easily save 50% of that every month, while still living the go

A few other notes. Don't have a goal to 'do a startup'. You'll try to force an idea for the sake of it, not because it makes business sense or is something you really care about. Berlin in winter is a cruel, cold, grey p

How much experience do you have? 40K gross should be your floor (this is about 28k net which is plenty to live well in Berlin). I don't know either of these companies or their founders, but it sounds like 1aim is much more relocation f

I think Zirx - http://zirx.com/ has a lot more to it than meets the eye. At the moment it seems like it's just another part of the on-demand economy, a kind of reverse-uber for people who own cars in the city. But if a

Many people now access the web from touch devices most of the time. I've often been frustrated by the lack of access to keyboard shortcuts in mobile browsers/mobile apps, but perhaps that's what a lot of people are habituated

Machine Vision and Robotics are at a crossroads where fundamental research is starting to cross over into industry, but the technologies are still far enough away from the mainstream that a Ph.D will give you a huge advantage. That said, if

Based on your comments I don't think you've ever been a hiring manager. Or if you have, your organisations must really be hurting. Your comments read like a power fantasy.

I'm not sure that he intends this to be the cover letter he sends out with his application. It's important to have a venue to vent too.

Holy shit. I'm going to send you some mail and see if I can help you out directly in about a minute, but I'd like to comment on your situation here too. This is the third time this month I've heard of a startup "CEO&quot

The robotics software engineer link no longer works, and it seems that position doesn't appear on the lever listings, is it still available?

A deeper problem is that math is almost always taught as a list of rules in the first place, frequently by teachers who do not themselves understand the underlying concepts. Teachers who only remember the procedures can of course only teach

Because most subways run on legacy infrastructure that would be difficult to upgrade/replace. RF repeaters for emergency remote control for example would need to be installed, certified and thoroughly tested. Given that drivers aren&#x

"Even if it is a scam, I don't see how that is relevant." Well that certainly neatly summarises the sort of magical thinking about technology currently in vogue. The fact is it does matter whether or not Mars One is realistic

If you want to get serious/make a career of it, there's no getting around the math. Even an embedded controls engineer needs to understand signals and timing.

Do you have a CS or other engineering degree? I'm going back for my masters in Robotics after 5 years in making browsers do things.

Your story sounds a lot like mine, I'm just a little further down the road. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering (i.e. as a hardware guy) five years ago. I spent my very early career trying stuff out. I did an int

Hi Mohamed Your goals are admirable, and I think you're on the right path. Do you have some product or company idea in mind already? The one piece of advice I'd like to give you is, there's no need to rush. There will be plen

This is precisely the process I followed (down to being Australian), except I made friends quickly and came to the Ausländerbehörde with a native speaker (and also client) backing me up.

In Berlin, speaking German is not at all a requirement. In Munich, you can get by but you ought to learn. In Stuttgart, better speak German. You're best off researching companies on cruchbase and angel.co, though http://berl

I live in Berlin. I have worked, freelanced, and started a company here. Getting a self employment visa if you are in technology is very, very easy, as is finding full-time work if that's what you're after. My current permit allow

There are quite a few nebulous claims here. Which 'outsiders' do you feel are 'assaulting' tech? What is their 'selfish agenda'? What do you feel they have to gain by targetting white male programmers?

Something else I'd like to add: Many european universities, including TUM which is highlighted in the article, also have exchange arrangements with U.S universities. These are mostly top-tier engineering state schools like UC Berkeley
