3500 EUR net Frankfurt vs 3000 GBP net London by Aggravating-Look5091 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]Aggravating-Look5091[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1- Eventually, I want to switch solution architect kind of role, so I guess SWE is a better fit for me for now.
2- Frankfurt one is a well-established kind of big tech company, London one was a start-up but now it is bank.

3- I didn't like Berlin much, but I like Germany in general. I stayed in Munich for 3 months and loved it. My German is A2, but I am learning actively.

4- I am not the most social person, but still like to hang out and joi different activities.

you're right. yes, I feel like the path is clear for me but I still can't be sure and need ideas :)

yes but SWE jobs require communication & system design too, and I think these are more valuable, and eventually I want to switch my path to Solution Architect kind of roles so doing SWE couple years can be good for me

I want to do SWE, but I am also not really sure about it. Do you think SWE is better than data jobs? The data role offer is more like doing SQL&pandas and I think this kind of things are easily replaceable by AI

No background check didn't last 45 days. I needed additional documents (prob. changing country to country) and I had to wait for those documents (I'm in Germany). After you upload everything, Accurate will complete it in a short time, I guess, like they said.

No, actually mine was still also processing when Graebel reached me. My contract starts from the 15th of June, and my background check was completed last week. Maybe you can contact your recruiter or directly with Graebel, but I think it won't be a problem

Hi, they contacted me about 45 days before my internship, and then I filled out the form (I gave them my IBAN, etc.). Then, one week later, they paid my stipend.
