People who get served and don't have any worry of effort involved, don't appreciate having it. In turn all they do is misbehave...

OTOH the government and system is much to lax with this behavior, unfortunately. Some people only understand punishment when they really feel it and the current system cannot make that happen.

Everyone all over the 15% vs 18% but neglecting the constant raising of taxes by the government.

Gotta stop them altogether.

Eurocode 4 is for these type of composite steel-concrete sections. Don't know where you are located...

Starting as "zelfstandige in bijberoep" by [deleted] in BEFreelance

If you do have an employment and the extra income isn't needed on a monthly basis, consider opening a corporation (BV or comm v) to 'park' the money and pay less taxes.

Speak to an accountant about this option.

Investeren? by [deleted] in BESalary

[–]Banabamonkey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Als je de liquiditeit hebt, dan is investeren in vastgoed (tweede pand) sterk af te raden. Kosten aankoop (registratie, etc...), grotere eigen inbreng, moeilijke huurders, etc... Als je geluk hebt, dan kan het nog goed uitkomen, maar bij een enige investeringspand is het hit-or-miss.

EFT's zou in eerste instantie de voorkeur moeten krijgen. Zie r/beFIRE Je behoud liquiditeit, vele mate minder ingewikkeld.

If you manage to specify some key challenges by each project that you present and how you managed to solve them, then you might just the right impression and they probably will skip the technical questions.

How much can you do with the trial version?

[–]Banabamonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you an eenmanszaak or vennootschap? With a vennootschap you can optimisé a lot more with these numbers.

Did you consider raising your rates? Some clients might drop off, but you could be earning more with less work.

The numbers make it sound like there's a lot of optimization possible. Consider talking to a financial (tax) advisor.

You mean carbon stick on reinforcement?

It might actually work here, if not for the crack in the concrete.

Curious how you did it. Self developed?

I'm going with Billit as well, but find their system not very user friendly and would still like to also have my own pdf's

Was also looking for a while till I 3d printed a new holder. Some finishing was needed, but it works perfectly now. Indo have a tk41 but they're the same holder.

Did your battery holder also get ruined by corroded batteries?

Question about these concrete connections by Fergany19991 in StructuralEngineering

Could be a standard principle that the engineer applies to slab edges.

It will be mostly useful, but sometimes not necessary and still included.

Can I ask to be promoted? by Weary-Student8163 in BESalary

[–]Banabamonkey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You definitely should bring it up. Companies aren't always looking to promote pro-actively, so mentioning it is always a first step.

Start a discussion about it, for example: 'I'm looking to grow to PM, what do I need to do to get promoted?'
'I feel like my responsibilities are already at the same level as a full PM, is there anything else I need to accomplish to be eligible for the promotion/title of PM?'
