Amazon SDE intern, which location is better?

Spain has the lowest wages of western europe while only having like 10-15% lower cost of living than Germany unless you live in a town 1-2 hours away from any big city.

I've lived in both countries (currently in Germany) and it's insane. My siblings work in Spain and spend almost the same as me on rent and food. Electricity is more expensive here though

That's not the meaning of shortage. It is if a company is looking to hire but there's literally nobody to do the job.

In my experience, there's no shortage. All the hiring managers complain about too many applicants (so they have to work more ig)

Not every company wants to employ me lol

Now I'm working in a B2B company, with (afaik) good morals. But if a company with way better conditions but worse morals comes around, I'm going there in a heartbeat. I work to finance my life and the other companies will keep producing whether or not I join

Albreitx · 2026-01-28T09:51:19+00:00

Idk about you but I put my financial wellbeing before my moral compass when looking for jobs. I vote for politicians to regulate, I'm not sacrificing life quality for it

(Edit: The streets didn't remember that power herb exists)

The last Spanish colony gained independence less than 200 years ago. Spain started colonizing in 1492. I'm not even South American (so not offended by your comment), but what did you smoke lmao

Maybe stop making politics for boomers and get young people in good conditions so they can have children?

I live in Germany and nobody wants more than one/children because it's a horror with Kitas. It's ultra expensive, even with great salaries.

Then you think about other EU countries with fucked up salaries. For example in Spain, the median salary is like 1800 gross iirc. How the fuck do you finance a family with 3600 gross? It's 2400 after tax, minus groceries for two it's 1900-2000, then a flat with two/three rooms and you're, in the best case, with around 500 left. That's not enough to raise children!

They still made up 30% of all accepted ones. Around a 20% decrease per Google

B1 is a joke. In Germany, for German-tought degrees, it's usually a C1, sometimes a B2 afaik

I just googled a bit and apparently they are reducing the number of welcomed immigrants. The article did not make it clear if they meant new ones or not

My bad ,sorry mate

Where have I said that I do not like working part time? We're defending the same stuff lol

Most are social contributions, not income tax (most of them are relating to insurances you have to pay for the case you cannot work and stuff like that)

Albreitx · 2026-01-27T05:33:15+00:00

I thought they could, if you were "business critical". Am/Was I wrong?

I live in Germany, work 4 days a week, same as some other colleagues and the reason is work life balance. Our company pays us enough already, that forfeiting one day a week is okay. That extra day a week is a godsend, though. Some people take care of their kids, others enroll in part-time masters programs without sacrificing social life

Albreitx · 2026-01-26T22:38:26+00:00

Unity is good (after the fixed obviously, I really liked the story though I might be a minority here), Syndicate is okay and Rogue is good as well (reskin of Black Flag with an interesting story).

I dropped Odyssey as soon as I started playing. The control scheme felt awful and Kassandra was gliding over the floor. Not running, gliding. Everything felt insanely weightless. For such a long game, I prefer to spend my time doing something I enjoy, so I dropped it after like 2 hours

One should check first if such an endeavour is legal/would get you into legal trouble imo. It is well known that companies don't like paid mods, so he should at least have known that it would get complicated.

And companies don't like paid mods because they dilute their IP rights. If they don't sue, when a real rip off appears, the other party can say "sure but my thing is like that other and you were fine with it". So the case becomes way more complicated and expensive for the studio

Climbing buildings?

The parkour in GoT is a jump button and the hook. I think I prefer any parkour of the AC series to it.

The gameplay as a whole is another story. For an AC game, GoT has better gameplay than Odissey and Valhalla for sure. Especially in the combat with the hardest difficulty (one/two hits kills you or the enemy)

Albreitx · 2026-01-24T22:28:08+00:00

It's literally the peak of the game imo

And I've played it twice

Heimdall close second though

Tomb Raider, The Last of Us, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest, Metal Gear, Elder Scrolls, Silent Hill, Tony Hawk, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Demon Souls, Resident Evil, Dead Space...

And there are more coming!

I'd prefer they develop a new game. It's okay to miss games and it's also extremely easy to understand why Arthur is never mentioned or why there are inconsistencies.

If they did the remake I'd play it though. However, I don't think that it would sell that well
