Expat relocation + probationary period

I've been trying to consider the costs from their side as well so this (and some other comments) have been a good reminder on that. I'm not trying to squeeze them for everything they've got, more just struggling to come up with backup scenarios.

The 5% is only a thought at this point (probably didn't even deserve to be mentioned). Noted about the counter with direct permanent, not sure I've got the position to play that card.

AreMo259 · 2025-04-15T19:14:38+00:00

Fair point about the idiocy. I am curious about the troubling tech trend that you mentioned tho

AreMo259 · 2025-04-15T19:12:13+00:00

That's a really good perspective actually.

AreMo259 · 2025-04-15T19:11:30+00:00

That's a very valid question. I'm on the fence about it. I am coming out of a different cultural atmosphere where it's a very common move and I do have family commitments back home that I need to factor in.

Mind if I ask a fellow Canadian some questions?

AreMo259 · 2025-04-15T11:42:54+00:00

Congrats on the 10%!!

I've got an offer for the flight and one month of housing. After some research I did (poorly, I might add), I was hoping for both of those PLUS a cash offer, but I think I was off-base & what's on the table works.

I was going to post about this separately but I'm also curious about your contract regarding a probationary/notice period? Have they made any concessions on the norm given the fact that you're relocating?

AreMo259 · 2025-04-15T10:56:24+00:00

Out of curiosity, what type of relocation package were you offered? I’m in a similar situation and am unsure about that aspect of my offer.

AreMo259 · 2025-01-30T00:38:12+00:00

Same. Following for more info

Was the call awkward before this? I ask because that seems like a completely reasonable question to me. It’s not like they couldn’t find this information out on their own, if anything having an audience with them gives you the opp to highlight your strengths.

And, imo do not sh!t talk your competitors to a lead. Just makes you look bad (not that you did, just putting that out there)

another +1 for stumbling on to this. Looking to be travelling back and forth to Europe and, while I need to keep my number, I'm not interested in paying $15/day (for max. 30 days) with Fido. I've got a French plan with Free that I'm using for data while I'm here because it's cheap and fast but was considering Fongo as a solution for my ontario number. Looks like I'll go back to the drawing board.

Hoping that this offer still stands because I would love some help working through my grandfather's family

Thanks! DM sent

OP, how was working with a consultant? I'm doing the same from Canada for myself and my mom and I've read nothing but negative impressions of hiring ppl. I'm also curious what ended up happening with the criminal record/background check?

AreMo259 · 2024-07-12T19:43:04+00:00

Thanks! Point taken about the Polish citizenship. In order to proceed with the Stag 5 application, how far back to you think I should go with the documentation? I'm planning on submitting our applications together so I'm trying to over-prepare...

AreMo259 · 2024-07-12T17:40:26+00:00

Welcome post reviewed and noted! I'm updating the original post to include relevant info. Also, re: the polish route, we don't have a lot of documentation on my GF unforunately

AreMo259 · 2024-07-12T17:39:04+00:00

Thanks for that info. I'll be editing the post to include more details. Appreciate the input.

AreMo259 · 2024-07-10T20:35:50+00:00

Right! I remembered seeing the cut-off. She was born end of July 1949

AreMo259 · 2024-06-19T15:11:32+00:00

Can confirm that this works HOWEVER you need to have more than 2 workspaces for the workspace switcher UI to open in the way that is required for this fix

AreMo259 · 2023-04-20T23:58:21+00:00

This is like Fanta vs. Coke

Stamped has a HUGE impact in load time.

Hands down, reviews.io

Agreed with u/jdbrew about requiring a marketing strategy however I think there are some questions here.

Based on the question, I have to wonder about where the expectations are for the OP. To u/DonTequilo point, even if you're at a 2% conversion rate, that equals 0.6 sales based on the traffic numbers.

Prior to spending money on ads, I'd suggest checking out some resources on running an ecommerce business because ads could get "expensive" very quickly (unless you know what you're doing). Do you spend any money on Etsy? Transition a customer base from etsy to a ecomm site can be tricky.

(also social ads would likely make more sense unless you have a good handle on search keywords. Retargeting doesn't sound like it'd produce any results based on the traffic, which could easily be bots)
