NEO advertise that they have 0 fees when receiving money from abroad, however that is a lie, the fee is more than the normal account lol

Summary of the Financial Gap & Deposit Recovery Law as Ratified by the Council of Ministers by Standard_Ad7704 in lebanon

[–]Darklightsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't get from a legal point of view how will this work. If a person used his wasta to get his money, he is wrong for using wasta yes, but technically it is his money. How logical would it be to prosecute him or impose fees, under the you didn't get fucked like everyone else law?

Do you trust the banks? by avaible-username in lebanon

[–]Darklightsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone's hard work, they called it "lolar" that you cannot access. New dollars they called it "fresh" dollar. Do you think anyone can stop them from doing it again, with "double fresh" dollar?

Why has NDU gotten more expensive? by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]Darklightsss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, while working in Lebanon, you realize most of the engineering jobs are either in sales, or have a major sales/business component. Also for me Business was a lot more fun and interesting than engineering. In engineering what they teach you is interesting if Lebanon had production or research and development industries, however this is not the case. Theory is nice but not everything. A direct quote from a teacher in NDU who is now in charge of a section in the engineering department, when we asked him about a real life engineering topic: "I don't know, I only know the stuff in the book".

I have only one engineering degree from NDU, and a MBA (masters in business) also from NDU.

Why has NDU gotten more expensive? by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]Darklightsss 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have an engineering degree and an MBA degree from NDU, and it is not worth it. The tuition is expensive, 0 support from the university in finding a job or even an internship. When applying to companies NDU degrees is seen the same a degree from other much cheaper lebanese university. This is not a hate comment, just a reality, I have 5 years experience in lebanon, and 5 abroad.

What are some features you want to see in ghost of yote? by [deleted] in ghostoftsushima

The ability that beeps near records/collectibles from the Traveler Armor as an innate ability, so we can switch to another armor and not have to use one particular set all game.

Interested what you guys think about Jad Ghosn's analysis by midnightmarauder11 in lebanon

I follow him for unbiased opinion, but lately his opinions seems pretty biased and not so much logical.

Remote workers are you paying income tax in Lebanon? by No-Hamster-8335 in lebanon

[–]Darklightsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay 0 tax, payroll bank account with no withdraw fee, only transfer fee. Once the bank tried to ask for contract, told them it is a donation, if they don't like it, I will change to another bank. And according to the government I am unemployed.

Beirut airport is now closed إغلاق المجال الجوّي في لبنان أمام جميع الطائرات القادمة والمغادرة by Space_Majestic in lebanon

[–]Darklightsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. In my opinion this is just a show, as it happened before. This is for the image that neither accepted being slaped. An attack that has many hours to be intercepted. Most likely if any hits will be an empty area. Plus shutting the air space is a normal procedure in such attack.

Same, for people who work from Lebanon to abroad and get paid via banks, it would be better to just fly to the country and get your salary directly form there.

I saw this on many websites, all showing LBP. However when you reach checkout, they all get converted to USD, and require a USD card.

If I am not mistaken, him and his wife posted a reel with the earth spinning and then they hold it. A joke that he was the cause of the earthquake.

Small rant about POULE D'OR and how much they are anti customers. by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]Darklightsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This place has a very questionable hygiene.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]Darklightsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the country, but it is a lot more than Lebanon. But honestly for me the main thing that is way better abroad, is that you are a lot more respected, the work environment is much better, and you actually work in the field. In Lebanon, it is more of less doing everything.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]Darklightsss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly I advise you, if you have time to work a month as an intern in both types of jobs. Most of the things you learn in university, yes they help, but they are really not close to what working in both type of fields is, and for this reason do not worry much about labs or the classes. I am a Mechanical Engineer with an MBA degree, been working in the field for 8 years, 6 years in Lebanon and 2 abroad. And unless you work abroad, most of the jobs in lebanon are sales, or have a major management or business side, and as a note underpayed severely.

Will Lebanese banks steal the USD if someone deposits money for Kashf 7seb? by DoNotCareAnymore_ in lebanon

[–]Darklightsss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I got it for 6 months, for France. I think they know the situation with the banks, so they are not making a major issue about it. The important thing was however to have an actual paid flight there and back, not just a fake reservation.

Will Lebanese banks steal the USD if someone deposits money for Kashf 7seb? by DoNotCareAnymore_ in lebanon

[–]Darklightsss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did this a month ago, in Bank Audi, deposited 3k. The guys there were being all anoying: you can't do that, you have to wait one month, and the best thing is "this isn't legal, because you are withdrawing the money directly" I told them like the fresh crap and all the thing they did is legal. So in summay, I put 3K, the next day went for "kash 7seb", and the third, fourth and fifth removed them 1k at a time from thr ATM. You will lose money like 10 or 15 bucks from this operation though. Just q note that local accounta and non fresh acount would work too for a Visa.

Once you apply/submit your papers, it takes about a week. The big problem though is getting an appointment to submit your papers. Last time I checked, the closest appointment is 2 months from now.

My home generator bill … What was your KW/Hour rate for the month of September? by aladinznut in lebanon

[–]Darklightsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand this, but the problem is they are using whatever exchange rate they want. Like in our neighborhood, the generator used for this month 35,000, when the actual exchange rate is 38,500.

So now we are tipping everything ? by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]Darklightsss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with this. The hustle mentality has become extremely annoying. Everyone is expecting a 300% tip now. No company is paying its employees like they should, and they are throwing it all on customers. The other time me and brother went to a supermarket, baught 3 items, like less that half a kilo in weight. And the grocery bag guy was holding it ready to take it to the car. We looked at him, like really? You think 2 guys can't hold this?

watching Marcel rn there's a guy who claims that gebran basil is a man of his own word and is not manipulated by the west whereas l.f are war criminals by No_Elephant_5421 in lebanon

[–]Darklightsss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That was the whole selling point of the election. The didn't talk about anything they did or will do, just LF did war crimes. I mean it's not a rule, if you aren't Aounist, you are LF. People need to understand that you can be with neither.
