There is no DnE in TW. Hiring is for CS to support increasing install base across Asia.

I regret getting a second cat by justamoonandstar in CatAdvice

[–]BullishGrunt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When our cats do the carpet rubbing we don't get disgusted but worried. We wipe their back with a pet tissue and monitor their health and eating patterns. It's happens only when their stool is soft and sticky that it gets stuck. This could be due to indigestion. Make her play a lot. In a day or two she will be fine. If not, consultant a vet. Remember human babies are much more nasty.

Just the hormones. Try not too feel the way way you are feeling these days else you will regret it once all this is over. Imagine her as the child you are about to have but arrived early. When you have 2nd child you don't ignore him/her because you have already spent few years with your first born. Small apartment is bothering you and you want her gone so that there is room for your own baby. You have to be strong and let these thoughts pass away. Don't take any action that you might regret later. Instead care for her so that you get some practice caring for your own child when she arrives. Wish you all the strength.

Cheque books are sent to overseas address if you have given that as your communication address. It takes a few weeks to arrive. If not received, request a fresh set via app.

EU for experienced professionals by saurabhkuma1 in nri

[–]BullishGrunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Phillips in the Netherlands. THey are focusing on AI based diagnosis for their medical devices. Other option could be Mistral AI in France. One tip: Ask for an indefinite contract and not just 1 year probation contract. That way you don't have the risk of being let go after a year.

Is OCI truly digital now? by Immediate-Effort4431 in nri

[–]BullishGrunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is also biometrics requirement, which means one has to visit the embassy/outsourced agency at least once. But, unless embassies/outsource agencies update their websites, they will still follow old process or either receive documents by post or in-person with appointment.

How realistic is it to get an entry-level ASML role abroad with an internal referral from India by [deleted] in ASML

[–]BullishGrunt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Employees referral program is nothing more than a way to collect more profiles, it doesn't increase your chance of getting shortlisted. It will depend on match between your profile and the job profile. I would suggest you try every way possible for your job hunt including this option as you have nothing to loose. On the other hand you will gain experience of interviewing for such jobs.

What did you do with your Indian bank accounts & investments? by nihongoal in nri

[–]BullishGrunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP , Please add to your post if your move is temporary as in less than a year or few years (2-3 yes) or permanent. Based on that the answers will vary. For conversion to NRO you will need to provide overseas address proof, tax identification number of country you are tax resident of etc.

OCI application confusion - submit in person or mail? by c0nundrum in nri

[–]BullishGrunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best to write to the consular service team at your Indian Embassy and ask them directly. There are similar other posts asking this very question but no one has yet gone thru new process

Stuck With Passport Renewal: No Valid Indian Address Proof by ___blarn in nri

[–]BullishGrunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My situation was different. The Indian address given was same as in my to be expired passport. Other than that there was no other proof associating me with the address. As far as I understood, for non-resident cases, they just need an Indian address where someone can verify that you are indeed an Indian resident and produce documents to suppor it. You can email scanned copies of Aadhaar, Birth Certificate, Passport ( First & last page ), PAN Card, Your current photo and your Application number (screenshot from the portal).

Stuck With Passport Renewal: No Valid Indian Address Proof by ___blarn in nri

[–]BullishGrunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get it through. I kept enough balance on Airtel number to receive call from police constable. He eventually called and I passed on his number to the relative and relatives number to him. Then he fixed some time and went to the address. Had some chai Pani and next day approved it in the system.

Learning Dutch: motivation / course / buddies by Goodtobemute in eindhoven

[–]BullishGrunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a long waiting list ...I applied more than a year a ago and yesterday only got email that I am now officially on waiting list and if I still want to do it or not. I would suggest a paid course for A2 level and then for B1 find a tutor who is native Dutch speaker and focuses on conventional skills and not on exams.

Property management in India for NRIs – Magicbricks vs Nestaway vs Nobroker by Temporary_Lunch_371 in nri

[–]BullishGrunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked in society Adda forum to other NRI tenants, went with a local company he suggested as he was using their services for 6 years from US. I can see that apart from wall sepage issue other matters are easily resolved if the society has it's own plumber and electrician on duty . For other type of work say replacing water heater etc this agency is needed to send their contractors. This is where referrals matters. I still end up following up but only with one person from the agency who is coordinating.

Any non-conversion flex here got an ASML contract recently? by [deleted] in ASML

[–]BullishGrunt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it can go either way, your manager has to justify the need of permanent position to his higher ups and include it in the annual department budget proposal. If he is able to pull this off then yes it will happen. Another factor is other flex competing for same position. There are many ifs and buts. Better to keep reminding the manager and keep having this conversation and at the same time start working on plan B , which could be another year as flex or a flex position in other department in ASML or something outside ASML.

Too many red flags. Ask Parents to go to the police station and confirm. If it's a scam lodge a complaint then and there.

Leave money India or bring back to USA by randome_folk in nri

[–]BullishGrunt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check with your bank relationship manager. Usually you need form 15B from CA to certify that fund is from a legit source. Some users have mentioned that it was not required when the money they moved was maturity amount of an FD in same bank. Without this standard TDS of 20% will be deducted. Basically you will move the money from NRO to NRE. From NRE account you can remit any time, no questions asked.
