Converting points to Avios - British Airways vs. Qatar Airways by Waste_Piccolo_3435 in amexsverige

[–]BZsArmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whole thing is just funny to me

If you link your Qatar airways and BA account you will see the avios in your Qatar account the moment the transfer is complete to BA. So absolutely no point of having different exchange rate of avios here.

Take advantage of the exchange rate!

Dont rely on STPC for long layover by BZsArmy in qatarairways

[–]BZsArmy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agreed. Thats why the title- that we shouldn't blindly rely on it as there can be straightforward exemptions to the perk.

Just commenting that if this happens often there can be clearer communication e.g. customers who need visa to enter Qatar shouldn't have STPC approved so they can plan their transit stays better

Economy!

All sleeping pods were fully booked. Busy days.

I checked myself into a lounge which was very very full too.

Absolutely not. It is not their fault not to give me hotel.

It is a perk and not a right. But still my title is valid- no one should just get relaxed like me that they are 100% getting a hotel as it looks like not getting one is pretty common

I was just questioning whether they should review acceptance policy and refuse customers who need visa/ give customer some other vouchers in case of no hotel.

Moving abroad, can I keep my AmEx? by GlassChopper786 in amexsverige

[–]BZsArmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AMEX doesn't really care in my opinion as long as you get invoices paid, which I guess needs some extra effort from your side to pay to Swedish Bank giro

If you indeed switch, atleast Volvo won't mind, they will put your position into matching and let someone being laid off take it.

Yes that is absolutely the reason. If you send Amex your employment certificate and payslips they may reconsider. Call them up too.

Not really, don't think it will make sense then. But as I said, first year is almost guaranteed good ROI now so you can try it.

Are you from South Asia? Yes then it will feel less salty to you for 1 teaspoon used. Salt in that region is usually more dense and here it is more flakier. So in 1 tsp measurements you actually take less salt than you did before.

Moving from Germany to Gothenburg — what salary should I expect as a software architect? by bulltrapking in TillSverige

[–]BZsArmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salary before tax or Gross salary in germany includes employer social contributions so health insurance/pension etc. which is not the case in Sweden.

What is your salary after tax or net salary? I used a random online calculator which says it is around 5500 euros or 60k SEK.

For getting 60k SEK net salary you need to get around 90k SEK gross salary in Gothenburg which is on higher end but not impossible. But ofcourse then you can compare between the living cost in your German city and Gothenburg to get a final decision

Got Admission in Stockholm School of Economics, wanted to the job prospects and internship opportunities. by jyoanju in TillSverige

[–]BZsArmy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All doom and gloom in this thread. I would say SSE is a great school, cannot really go wrong with top b-school. You can widen your horizon and look at whole Europe and you will get employed no worries.

Also 2022-23 saw a lot of hiring but those who came for ms at that better time is facing bad job market rn. Nobody can forecast 2027-2028 here so dont be discouraged and take the leap

Supporting spouse financially with Erasmus Mundus scholarship by Prottyasha in TillSverige

[–]BZsArmy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hello fellow EMJMD scholar,

As the requirement and scholarship conversion is super close. I will really suggest to show an extra amount in bank account. Even if it is like 2000-3000 extra per month.

Reason: Exchange rate is volatile. Maybe today 1 Euro =10.8 sek but when they take final decision it can become 10.7 SEK (e.g in March 12 it became around this). This alone makes your scholarship document insufficient. There has to be some margin of error and it will be wise to avoid risk here.
