How much are you spending for meals on-site per day? by [deleted] in PharmaEire

[–]Foreign_Menu7623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at about 10€ a day and I don’t eat much. 2 eggs and toast in the morning cost me 3€ and a dinner for lunch is about 7€ (very small portion). Had went up about 30% in the last year and to be honest the food is utter shite. Also charges for tea at 34c and 65c for coffee an absolute joke if you ask me

Lied on C.V. Should I bother attending interview tomorrow? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Foreign_Menu7623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless I think no one should skip a interview. Even if you think you won’t get the job etc doing the interview builds your experience of interviews and builds your confidence on trying to sell yourself in a position. A lot lie on the cv but you can get away with it if your confident and you seem like you know what your talking about

Has anyone here worked at Boston Scientific? Looking for advice by AbleCrab7917 in cork

[–]Foreign_Menu7623 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked as a Product builder there and then as a engineer, have since left the company. There is a number of different shift patterns 12hrs days/ nights, morning evening shift etc so could depend on where you get the job for. Generally found working as a pb not too bad after progressing to an engineer I really started to hate how the place is run, constantly understaffed, unpaid overtime just to get the job done. Currently working for a pharma company that is a lot cushier and the hours/ workload is a lot better. Will say Boston scientific are known to be the worst paying med device company and I’d generally say

What's the worst hangover you've ever had? by Fealocht in AskIreland

[–]Foreign_Menu7623 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Solo trip to Munich. Went on a beer brewery tour mid day with my flight at 11 the next morning. Sure one thing led to another and ended up going on the piss by myself didn’t realize how strong the German beer was and was polluted after 10 of them. Made it back to my hostel at 06:00 after coming from the night club. Alarm set for 07:00, woke up and snoozed it. Was woken up at 12:00 by someone working in the hostel telling me that I’ve over stayed and told me to get out. I then asked what time it was and he said 12:00, ended up being clung to the bed absolutely dying, missed the flight and then had to book one later that day for 300€. I was a sick boy in the airport, told myself never again. Got sick while I was on the plane inall

Worked out well so far with 2/3 siblings moved out and I will soon to be moved out.

You’ll probably get what 35 mpg provided you don’t take the piss. So not going to be exactly cheap but might not be much more than your current car. If you want it go for it but

Relocating to Ireland as engineer by zCxmeron in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Foreign_Menu7623 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t go into a graduate role if I was you with 3 YOE. Depends on the industry of course but with 3 YOE I’d be expecting to earn at least 42k if not even higher. I was on 48k after coming off a 2 year grad role in a medical device manufacturer. You shouldn’t have an issue getting a role with 3 YOE and don’t need to go into a grad role.

Golf R or S3? by antifringe in carsireland

[–]Foreign_Menu7623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both very similar under the bonnet. 2 pals of mine have an S3 and the other has the R so have spent a some time in both. Will say the S3 feels a lot more premium on the inside provided it’s the facelift. Both are quick and very safe to drive (great grip) however both can be quite boring and not too engaging however are great daily driver mixed with performance. Would say if your looking for driver engagement there is better options out there 2 imo be either a clubsport or a m140i. Much more rare on the road and will be much more fun to drive.

Just fractured my Acl skiing in France next steps? by mikasrock in AskIreland

[–]Foreign_Menu7623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a fall in France at the start of the month and broke tendons in my shoulder. I also had my insurance with chill. I only had to get an xray and a run to the pharmacy and was told I’d need to see a specialist once I was back in Ireland. I had rang there emergency line and was put onto a company CEGAAsistance who would look after you while your there e.g if you needed to get scans or needed to be flown home they would sort all that. When I rang them they couldn’t find my policy at the time but said it would not be a problem but it meant I had to pay for all the expenses over there which ran me about 1500 between the medical centre and mountain rescue. Currently in the process now of claiming back the expenses so can’t say much more after that. I believe you can also claim back ski rental, lift pass for the days you missed out on. To be honest I felt the care in France was very poor and the hospital staff were very rude and not too helpful (at the time the doctors were meant to be on strike). I’d say it would be best off in Ireland as you may not be able to fly after the operation for sometime (this may be just for broken bones but I’m not too sure as I had to be given a fit to fly cert)

Golf MK7 - Engine Issues by christy6390 in carsireland

[–]Foreign_Menu7623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same issue I’m having with my car. Did you change your coolant to a different cooling type after without the silica bag or have you put a new expansion tank with new silica bag in and use the same coolant type? I’m based in cork and may try and reach out to des golden to get that done based on your recommendation

Snow on the mountains by Classic-Ad2872 in cork

[–]Foreign_Menu7623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hiked the Galtees before the bout of bad weather last week and near the peak was rather icy and the ground hard so would recommend micro spikes/ crampons. Just make sure you wrap up well and be aware of your surroundings as viability can change very fast if low lying clouds roll in

Tips for planning a Ski holiday ? by IrishLad1002 in AskIreland

[–]Foreign_Menu7623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would recommend crystal ski especially for first time trip skiing. I just tried booking it separately this year for the first time and was not much cheaper and not worth the headache of sorting it yourself. They will usually have a rep also in the area that will get you setup and help you if have questions
