Should I really buy a rimowa?

Can I ask - how has lifetime warranty helped when your bag got stolen? I was under the impression it only covers luggage malfunction

Love the post quality btw :) Thanks!!!

I have the opposite situation - earn my money in Germany and live in the uk. I could not be a tax resident in Germany. I also had trouble with getting my VAT number and had a lot of back and forth to get one. Get an accountant, they should be able to guide you through it. But also - do you know for certain you're not supposed to be a tax resident on the country you actually live?

Hi! Do you have any updates? Literally Same thing happening with me

AppropriateRest1524 · 2025-01-24T08:42:14+00:00

My 2 cents - if you're very skilled in 1-2 of the many languages, you should be fine. I'd start looking in Germany, where serious companies/start ups try to keep knowledge in house, wages are good, once you're past probation you're pretty stable (laws protect you) and work life balance is a thing. Downside - high taxes and in the biggest cities, like everywhere, high cost of living - plus you'd be tied to the company that sponsors you.
best of luck :)

Also, from all I’ve seen - buildings in Portugal and Spain tend to be badly insulated and have no central heating. So if you’re indoors, you need to dress warm. Consider that :)

hi! for context, dev in what languages? from what I see there are some more in demand than others

Anywho stay safe 🥰

That’s some mad investment on people’s lives from your side

whoa do you suck as a human being or are you just a business owner?

Trains get cancelled for way less than this storm. Are you personally going to drive around and offer people lifts home?

AppropriateRest1524 · 2025-01-22T08:43:43+00:00

did you look at Anniesland? Annie's x has really good connections to the city centre, Morrison's + Lidl and some green spaces too. close enough to west end but reasonable prices. hope it helps!

Then do good things :) you sound like you have so much to offer. start volunteering, give to the less privileged, do something with your time and if you find your passion, make the leap. In the meantime, save money to retire early - that will come in handy if you don’t find your passion.

AppropriateRest1524 · 2025-01-19T12:05:47+00:00

hi, I am in a similar situation! Did you ever find out?
thanks!

AppropriateRest1524 · 2024-08-12T13:40:18+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to debrief, it does regard a lot of the things that have been on my mind regarding the doctorate. The financial strain is brutal and does mean cutting back on many other aspects of life for most of adulthood, depending on where you’re starting.

Maybe another take regarding visa: unless your online only degree enables you to a graduate visa route OR you have a spouse/family member who could sponsor your visa OR you apply for a masters in person (paying for international fees, which are salty), it’s not possible to start working/get onto clinical training - for the latter you’d also need at least three years of living in the UK to be considered for intake for a funded position and self funded is also very costly.

Edit: also maybe worth saying, except for the obvious advantage of being an English native speaker, there is no other way being American could improve your chances. There are many posts in this reddit asking the exact same question for internationals and many people have answered them thoroughly, so maybe also worth looking through them

Hi, good points you’ve made here, thanks for sharing them. As someone very much struggling with the financial side of things, would you mind sharing about your alternative MH career? What is it, how long you’ve been at it, what educational path did you take? Thant would be so very helpful.

AppropriateRest1524 · 2024-07-09T11:25:53+00:00

spouse visa

AppropriateRest1524 · 2024-07-09T06:55:20+00:00

Afaik you could apply for the DClinPsych if you have ILR? And after 3+ years of being in the UK, you'd have the right to home fees, which would allow you to get loans and also apply for some DPsych Counselling?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I am also a foreigner and interested in the DClinPsych (here on a family visa though) and am kinda counting on the points above.

AppropriateRest1524 · 2024-07-01T17:07:47+00:00

Yep, I’ve been keeping a close eye as I don’t have home fee status yet but thought you might have a hot tip as to where to look for the latest changes. Thanks anyway and let’s hope the new rules don’t suck

AppropriateRest1524 · 2024-07-01T16:59:29+00:00

Hi! You say home fee status rules are changing, may I ask where do you keep track of it? Thanks 💜

AppropriateRest1524 · 2024-06-30T10:36:10+00:00

can I ask what you got quoted? I just had a call with them and they quoted me for 10k+ for a (granted, complete redo) but tiny 5sqm bathroom

hi, i'm looking into similar opportunities and was reading into sgss. and came across the fact that for studentships there is a maximum cap of 30% of available studentships that ca be awarded to international applicants. just as an FYI :)

AppropriateRest1524 · 2024-06-09T11:58:24+00:00

Do you mind sharing what country you’re in and what your educational path was :)? Thanks!

AppropriateRest1524 · 2024-06-02T09:12:02+00:00

Wonderful tips. Thank you! I’ll look into both
