I recently met a guy in Berlin who is employed by a company that is a FB sub-contractor for content screening. When I met him, he had been on sick leave for 2 weeks, because of the awful working conditions and the stuff he had to go through

I'm married to a Finn woman and I have lived in Helsinki for about 3 years. The lack of small talk is the norm in Finland, and, as a south-european, it takes a while to get used to. The article doesn't mention that there is a noti

Mostly banking and finance gigs. UBS, Credit Suisse, Swiss Re, Zurich, etc. Not necessarily cutting edge tech jobs though. Also, Zug, near Zurich has turned into a hotspot for blockchain-related startups and fintech companies.

Not at all, it's just an average. Some books are shorter than 250 pages, other longer.

I have automated a couple of metrics that I like to keep an eye on. Credit card expenditure: since my old-school bank has no API of sort, I trigger via Tasker a daily sms to a bank number that replies with the amount left before I get to my

Here is a list of the books he read and enjoyed the most from 2006 to 2011. https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/2577-a-hacktivist-reading-l... Very illuminating to see how wide his interests were.

Mid 2017 I started reading more and I ended up reading 30 books. It has been incredibly fulfilling, my head is constantly full of new ideas and I find myself a better person. I want to continue with this trend and read 50 books and write a

Yes, my mistake, I meant kindergrippe (I have actually used the right word in a previous comment). In any case, kindergartens are not entirely free. If the kids have to stay after 12.00 it gets very expensive.

There are no public Kinderkrippe in Zurich. If your kids are under 5, the only option is a private kita - and if live in Zurich you should know how pricey they are. In any case, my point wasn't about "me". I was trying to hig

In Zurich, there are no public kindergarten. The monthly fees ranges from 2.500 to 3K+ a month. A nanny is necessary, when both parents have a full time work and family is not around (like in my case).

These numbers should be taken with a grain of salt. I live in Zurich, Switzerland and I have a similar salary (~200K) but the high cost of living (which, I assume, is similar if not lower than the Bay Area) make my salary comparable to an &

This is not for Germany only. The majority of EU contries have similar benefits guaranteed by the law.

That is interesting. I wish one could acquire a "nomadic" status and pay only a fraction of the income tax in the country he lives in for a given period. But that open a bigger sets of problem, like health insurance, etc.

Very inspiring, I wish I could try something like that for a while. Question: do you still declare your income in your home country (Germany, I assume) or have you found a different solution?
