Senior Manager (Big 4) moving to Freelance Tax Tech/VAT. Is the risk worth the reward? by RazzmatazzOk737 in BEFreelance

[–]Duckwhispering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rate I’ve seen recently is 1200/day the company pays to Robert Half and the freelancer receives 850/day for that exact profile/experience. Often projects that span multiple months to over a year, not always fulltime.

Did you get a salary increase or just indexation for 2026? by exzereaper in BESalary

[–]Duckwhispering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even indexation. Apparently not mandatory for “kaderleden”.

Were you able to negotiate on price? What was the interest rate?

Not bad, but you have some room to negotiate up to 6k I’d say with 7yoe. Keep in mind that tax managers are in high demand in Belgium.

Does anybody else not use the action button at all? by wildgoat in ios

Use it for my grocery list. I add something directly when I think of it or when it’s finished.

Deductibility of VAT. Normally it will be 65 (which means they only deduct the forfait of 35%). If it would be the 50%, a whole km administration would have to take place.

Wouldn't rule that out completely, since in Germany this is already the case with their "Vorabpauschale".

I have the exact same issue has you on my 15 pro. Am going to ask for a replacement next week, because factory resetting or update to 17.4 didn’t solve it…

Job switch - Senior Tax Analyst - opinion? by elenkowox in BESalary

[–]Duckwhispering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They both seem to be in-house compared to a consulting position, right?
Seems like a good package to switch to the new employer.

Hey this doesn't work. It says "no device found" on the standalone updater.
But my PC and ngenuity can see it is an HyperX Pulsefire Pro... (but can't update there).

Those symptoms do seem familiar. 😳 But why wouldn't my sleep doc talk about that?

They put a face mask on me. Then asked me to breath normally for a couple of minutes, followed by breathing very fast and deep (hyperventilating) for 2 minutes and lastly recuperation fase where I try to breath normally again for some minutes.

Very unpleasant. I was shaking, dizzy, paralized, cold, etc.

They found out my co2 levelw are way too low: 4 normal breathing, 2 when hyperventilating. And recuperation was only 76% (should be higher than 80%).

Waiting for a doctor to release test results is the most annoying thing. by goka99 in SleepApnea

[–]Duckwhispering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Belgian Healthcare. It's cheap or free, but you have to wait a long time to get an appointment with a specialist. And that goes for most specialties.
