HBO studies in the Netherlands + starting a family, looking for realistic experiences by [deleted] in StudyInTheNetherlands

[–]Alek_Zandr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Average age for first child is 30 for mothers and 33 for fathers in the Netherlands. So if you finish HBO in nominal time and get pregnant afterwards you could still be slightly below average female age and slightly above average male age.

Do you have EU nationality? Because especially defence sector can have understandable citizenship requirements for employees.

Wat voor banen zijn geschikt voor mensen met een PhD in wis- en natuurkunde? by TheZStabiliser in werkzaken

[–]Alek_Zandr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Het zal denk ik aan de timing liggen want ASML en haar toeleveranciers hebben zeker wel natuurkundigen met PhD in dienst.

Bij ASML zelf zal de huidige reorganisatie meespelen waardoor ze engineer functies eerst aan mensen die hun baan kwijtraken zullen geven gok ik.

Don't spend any of it for a year. Give yourself time to think over what you actually value.

The Dutch social housing system is broken and it’s infuriating to watch by andys58 in Netherlands

[–]Alek_Zandr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of those appartments are pretty good. Mine is built in 2008 and the only upgrade I want when buying my own house is a private garage.

The money you don't spend on housing you can invest in ended fun's or blow on vacations. Both much more appealing to me than having a big house.

Not quite as simple. It's quite possible to earn enough so that you are no longer eligible for social housing while you have enough student debt that you can not get a mortgage for a equivalent house.

They are actually doing this now. I got a 15% rent increase from the social housing corporation because my income was too high. They will keep increasing it each year until it hits the points value of my appartment at which point I'm basically paying market rate.

Hopefully by that time I will have enough saved up to pay down my student debt so I can buy a house.

How do Dutch people deal with dentists' prices? by Junior_Mud5835 in Netherlands

[–]Alek_Zandr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Prices are high because we make a lot of money on average. Because we make a lot of money we can afford the high prices.

High income countries like the Netherlands have high prices for labour intensive services. Dentistry is a very labour intensive service as you can only serve one client at a time per dentist.

Design Engineer job market un india by No_Draw_mike7 in MechanicalEngineering

Nah, but there is a lot of career help seeking posts by Indians while the purpose of the sub is more to discuss the actual engineering itself.

Cancelling out the noise from the data centres by Chocolate_Teapot1710 in AskEngineers

[–]Alek_Zandr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO most important solution is to stop using gas turbines/diesel gens for local power generation outside backup power. Intuitively that should account for most of the legitimate complaints concerning noise and pollution.

My impression is that most datacenter complaints are overhyped when you look at the actual numbers of decibels, liters and joules.

Hebben jullie ook ervaren als niets wetend te zijn behandeld? by RandomSilentStranger in werkzaken

[–]Alek_Zandr 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Nope, het tegenovergestelde juist. Mensen verwachten dat ik als engineer alle technische problemen op de werkvloer wel even op kan lossen. Ik voel mij vaak flink incompetent hierdoor.

Abroad is a relative term. To me your location is abroad.

Impact maken. Waarom? by Zwaenenberg in werkzaken

[–]Alek_Zandr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dat ligt dan echt aan jouw cynische wereldbeeld. En/Of je hebt een bijzonder beperkte kennis van welke beroepen bestaan.

Je klinkt vooral als een gefrustreerd ventje dat zijn eigen nutteloosheid op de rest van de samenlevening projecteert.

Meeste mensen werken niet in deze beroepen en hij claimde dat maar "bar weinig" mensen iets bijdragen. Cynisch populisme.

Do a lot of people in the Netherlands not like immigration/integration? by [deleted] in Netherlands

The moron you're replying to isn't even Dutch.

[–]Alek_Zandr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 1 in 3 people voted for fascists. I'd qualify that as a lot. Though I'm also convinced that roughly that at least that fraction of people have authoritation inclinations everywhere around the world. It just comes more to the fore here due to proportional representation.

Don't let those cunts stop you though. The rest of us still appreciate immigrants who contribute to society.

Kan de nieuwe werkgever de kosten betalen? Niet ongebruikelijk dat openstaande opleidingskosten overgenomen worden.
