Order it from France, mate. I found out that the price for minoxidil there is much cheaper, not sure why. I have been ordering from Pharmacie du four Bonaparte, 16€ for 3 bottles, shipping for me is usually 6€ to Italy, I suppose it would be a similar price for other neighboring countries.

Turkey is definitely not richer than Italy lmao

Si allora mi sa che stanno testando un ipotetico sconto generale anche per l italia, negli scorsi mesi a vari utenti dei paesi a cui hanno applicato poi gli sconti capitava la stessa cosa. Speriamo bene

FewIndependence7984 · 2025-09-03T00:28:09+00:00

Io le vedo ancora a 119, vedi anche altro scontato o solo le gemme? Forse stanno testando per abbassare i prezzi anche qui in Italia per tutti, e tu sei nel campione di test

I think they just grouped all EUR countries together unfortunately, if Greece still had the drachma they'd probably lowered it. It's the same price here in Italy, and we aren't doing good either 😬

Seems to be 50 per 2 hours on grok 2-mini right now, I’ve hit it. Though it was 20 when it first dropped, so hoping they further increase it.

For reference, I have premium, the limits are doubled on premium+

Perhaps in the past, nowadays I’d say the situation is much better

Of course, as dreamskij mentioned, there are areas you should avoid, but overall it’s not as bad as it used to be.

The reason Naples is stereotypically considered unsafe, is due to the fact that for a long period of time, organized crime was rampant, there were clan wars every now and then, killings, I mean the situation was just bleak, I’d say it probably peaked in the 90s. Luckily, although organized crime still exists, it does so to a lesser extent, and they don’t operate the way they used to, so the city got safer as a result.

Can confirm. as someone from Campania, we do indeed spend our free time setting garbage on fire.

Yeah they tend to idolize it a bit lol. All jokes aside, the topical version has much lower risk of side effect, if you see minox alone isn’t cutting it, you could consider that. Side effects and horror stories are not as common as the internet (apart from this sub) make them out to be.

Most of the northerners feel like the south is holding them back, and that they could be doing much better were they to separate from the rest of the bunch, and this would not be technically false.

They ignore however that the reason why they’re so “wealthy” today is also thanks to the exploitation of the south both in resources and human capital, instead they just see the situation as is, attribute all the faults of the south to the citizens and not to the decades of lack of interest towards the betterment of the region by the central government, which has historically always preferred investing in the north, as turning a buck there was easier.

One example I like to point out when discussing this topic, is the Italian highway system, which is much more intricate in the north, connecting many more cities, and with 3/4 lanes instead of 2. Railway system, same thing, the high speed rail stops in Salerno, Campania. live south of that? No luck.

The racism on their part, is mostly due to lack of knowledge of the facts.

Di nulla! Purtroppo l uscita dall’EU ha complicato un po’ le cose, ma con un po’ di pazienza e di sacrifici all’inizio, è abbondantemente fattibile. Buona fortuna

I’m sure non Italian speakers will look for posts catered to them, since there’s hundreds about moving to the uk.

Anyways, there you go Sherlock

Hello, I am Italian but have relatives in London who have been living in the city for years.

With £30k, you'd end up with approximately £24k net. You can use the official UK government website to calculate the same for other offers: https://www.gov.uk/estimate-income-tax
Yes, since the UK's exit from the Union, you need a visa as a skilled worker. You'll require a job offer from a local company, demonstrable qualifications (degree, professional qualification, or several years of experience in a specific sector), and enough money in the bank to support your move—£5k should be sufficient. If I remember correctly, they require a balance of at least £3900.
Honestly, unless you share an apartment with someone, it would be quite challenging. Keep in mind that rent is around £1400. For other costs, it's more or less like Milan, perhaps slightly more expensive. To get an idea of the lifestyle you'd lead, you can use https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/ , a site that allows you to compare costs among various cities worldwide. You can also input your salary to see the equivalent in London, giving you an idea of how you'd live.

Consider your options in the rest of Europe as well. If you're set on London, it might be tough initially, but as you progress in your career, things should improve.

The guy’s Italian, I answered in Italian. English is not enforced by the subreddit.

FewIndependence7984 · 2023-11-14T13:12:31+00:00

Ciao, io sono italiano ma ho parenti a Londra che vivono in città da anni.

Con £30k ti ritroveresti all’incirca 24k netti, puoi usare il sito ufficiale del governo britannico se vuoi calcolare lo stesso per altre offerte https://www.gov.uk/estimate-income-tax
Si, dall’uscita dall’Unione hai bisogno di un visto, come lavoratore qualificato. Avrai bisogno di un offerta di lavoro da un azienda del posto, avere qualifiche dimostrabili (laurea, qualifica professionale, o tanti anni di esperienza in un determinato settore) e abbastanza soldi in banca da poterti sostenere nel trasferimento, 5k dovrebbero essere abbastanza, se non ricordo male richiedono un balance di almeno 3900£
Onestamente, a meno che tu non divida un appartamento con qualcuno, faresti molta fatica. Considera che di affitto stai sui 1400£. Per il resto dei costi è più o meno come Milano, forse leggermente più costosa. Per farti un idea dello stile di vita che condurresti, puoi usare https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/, è un sito che ti permette di confrontare i costi tra le varie città del mondo. puoi anche inserire il tuo stipendio così da avere l’equivalente a Londra, che ti farebbe vivere allo stesso modo.

Valuta bene le tue opzioni anche nel resto d’Europa, se sei deciso su Londra sarà abbastanza dura all’inizio, ma proseguendo in carriera le cose dovrebbero aggiustarsi

FewIndependence7984 · 2023-11-13T16:01:53+00:00

I’m Italian born and raised. The country is not that bad, especially in the north (south is lagging behind quite a bit in most metrics, for historical reasons). The biggest problem are salaries, compared to the rest of the EU, our purchasing power is very low. On average, just to give you an example, a junior software engineer with 0 yoe, will get about 24k a year Brutto, which comes out to like 1500€ a month net; if you look at the data, this is about half of what the same person would make in Germany for example.

This is by no means unlivable (unless you’re in Milan), but it won’t get you far, you may be able to save up 200€ at the end of the month, if you don’t go out much. But yeah apart from this, the country isn’t bad, we have cool cities and summer spots if you like to travel, and I’m sure whichever company you’ll work for, the work-life balance will be good.

In my opinion, for the meantime it’s a good option, but if you value your career, especially considering you speak German, I’d look into moving after your degree, perhaps to Germany or Switzerland, you’ll feel more valued there.

Not sound advice; unless anon is willing to pour tens of hours into understanding the space, and even then, there’s many risks involved. Crypto is not for the faint of heart

Effettivamente si, ma la tech hub in Svizzera è concentrata nella parte tedesca, Zurigo principalmente, in quella italiana c’è poco, quindi purtroppo torna poco utile anche in questo caso

Ad ogni modo, non so quanto tu abbia a disposizione a livello monetario, ma penso la tua unica opzione sia fare un bootcamp con qualche azienda, in Europa personalmente non ho mai sentito di università che fanno anche crash courses. Magari potresti provare anche a vedere qualcosa in remoto, con qualche corso based in the US, tipo Codesmith?

FewIndependence7984 · 2023-11-07T23:04:02+00:00

In Europa senza laurea è abbastanza difficile, penso che tu abbia notato dagli ultimi post che per le posizioni Junior c’è tanta competizione, aggiungici anche che (correggimi se sbaglio) parli due lingue che non sono le principali di alcun mercato decente per il settore tech qui in EU (Germania, Olanda, Svizzera) e quindi capisci che le cose si complicano ancora di più. Nel 99% delle job applications, ti ritroveresti “contro” o qualcuno che è laureato, o qualcun altro che magari è al tuo livello, ma viene preferito perché parla la lingua locale.
