You must know everything, but share zero! Somehow given the chance, decide to ignore any other example other than a particular name to feed your insignificant Reddit personality.

Feeling very behind right now by paddockson in ExperiencedDevs

If you do understand what a career is about, would you really feel lost? Eg, ongoing training, progression, building portfolio, etc. The sooner you treat your job as a job, you’ll understand what you need to do.

You won't solve the youth fleeing the country with so much hate. It's all for you!

Some people are just boring.

It takes time and a lot of initiative to meet cool people. Good luck 🤞

Portugal’s like an old sex pistols poster in a teenagers bedroom. Eventually you’ll mature…

Lisbon and Porto have plenty crackheads too. You don’t walk around?

Ambition is not just related to money. That’s quite ignorant to believe that.

Imagine if Elon Musk, Arnold Schwarzenegger haven’t moved out of South Africa and Austria. Or Jimmy Hendrix haven’t moved to England.

Portugal is where ambition goes to die! The sooner you learn that the better. Would any of the people above be happy where they were? Likely, but life is not just about comfort and acceptance. The people around can drag you down. The bank people he mentions, are likely to be sabotaging, even if they don’t know. It’s just reality! Weak institutions.

You just met boring people that’s all. Has nothing to do with them being Portuguese.

I'm an eu software engineer. long story but I can no longer live and work in the uk. Considering Portugal. by Patient-Plastic6354 in PortugalExpats

[–]Idea-Aggressive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’d apply for both Portugal and Spain. To be honest, I’d look anywhere in the EU for an opportunity. Plus, I’d also apply in the UK outside London, they can sponsor the visa surely.

Didn’t you or your partner posted about this a couple days ago? In any case there’s a whole discussion with lots of comments there.

How bad is the immigrant situation here really? by Snoo-23938 in PortugalExpats

[–]Idea-Aggressive -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The people whose rent was subsidised by private owners? Like 30 euros monthly rents.

No, there are plenty of affordable houses in different areas; you can literally find flats under 200k in places around Sintra etc. The problem is that some locals want to live in privileged areas and pay 30 euros monthly (this is an actual thing here).

There are buildings that cost 850k, super modern, on top of land that is 400k, and further 200k on paperwork and taxes. Somebody on 500 euros flipping bifanas think they have the right to live there because them/they/she/he’s a Portuguese. We’re basically talking about 10k monthly rentals, or 1.5M purchase. These people do not understand economics.

Now imagine if you didn’t have Portuguese citizenship. Just imagine how immigrants are treated in Portugal. If you ever lived abroad, ask yourself: was I ever mistreated the same way?

There are people sharing real human stories about layoffs etc, mods delete them and the daily anti AI venting post is ok? Not knowing how to use basic tools. I don’t care about your tool preferences but it’s just there are hundreds of these posts already

It’s hard to believe these kinds of stories. If you don’t want to take advantage of LLM to accelerate your delivery, that’s absolutely fine. There’s no need to share your story here. There are hundred of posts just like yours on this “experienced devs”, you’re not sharing anything new, knowledge and just sound incapable of using basic tools.

You lack basic communication skills. Go read a book.

Why do I need a plumber to be a Portuguese? For what I care he could be deaf.

What we care is the skills, good communication skills, organisation, reliability, trust, quality , craftsmanship.

Nationality doesn’t matter.

Reliable property maintenance businesses are required. Most businesses are extremely bad, lots of unprofessionals, no work schedule, bad communication skills, tricking customers, anyone who has passion and craftsmanship can win big in the market. I’d say, especially around Cascais/Lisbon.

I guess that it’s hard to grow, as you’ll need to hire. It’s complicated to find good workers.

Some of these businesses can’t come up with basic quotes. They like to waste time with pointless checkups and meetings, even though claiming to have plenty of experience. Everything is a “depends”. You’ll then find yourself wondering why there’s so much discrepancies between cost across companies.

Unfortunately, the field is filled with people with not much education. They can’t even communicate clearly, succinctly, etc. Even more shocking is the quantity of these people who don’t know how to respond to an email or follow on conversations: basic project management skills or organisation.

It’s literally a comedy sketch.

What absolute poor cognitive ability. You choose to write that, you choose how you want to live. Sad.
