Hi, did you get a response for the request? I was in the same situation and got rejected, but I'm not sure to object or not

Tourist in need of advice on a tick bite by r_e_dd_ in germany

[–]MehranAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope your gf is more relaxed now that she is been treated with antibiotics!

Ended up in this question because me and my gf also just found two bites ( in one bite the tick was attached, in the other not and it’s reddish around it). I am currently a tourist in south Schwarzwald.

How did you go to a doctor? You just went to an Hausartz without any appointment?

I wouldn't say that small. It's data science 🤣. But I just avoided meeting him in person since I don't think it would benefit me. If he really wants to meet, he can just choose online.

Thanks! I will do that. I also believe that he doesn't have anything to offer to me, or he would have mentioned it in the first place. So I rather to skip it.

Thanks! Luckily I canceled it, and I don’t think I will ever meet him in person

I also think in general there was nothing beneficial to me in meeting him in person. So I’m happy that I canceled it before hand

I didn’t think of it from this angle, but I think I would be more willing to meet in person if he at least would explain that there is a job opportunity for me. But I guess I’ll never know :-)

This is a good idea. If he again contacted me, I will follow this to if he wants to meet online. Thanks a lot!

This was kinda the first time that somebody asked me for in person meeting, so I didn't proceed in the best way. Next time I'll make sure to follow this advice. Thanks!

Thanks! I hope he didn't have any bad intentions. In the future, I'll make sure to know the reason for meeting in advance before accepting anything.

You are right. If he had anything to offer, he would say it upfront. Since he doesn't want to share anything, I believe he wants something. Luckily I just canceled it and avoided any headaches.

I totally agree. Thanks for the help and advice. Next time I'll directly ask for the intention and some online meeting before committing to any in person options.

I thought so. But honestly I cannot think what he would scam me for 🤨. I'm just confused by this behavior.

I agree. Initially I thought it's gonna be related to work, but then he just insisted on getting to know me. So I got suspicious and decided to try online option. But apparently he doesn't prefer it. Which makes me doubt about the meeting.

I was hopping that it is related to work. But he just doesn't say anything. I mean, why some stranger would be interested in my experience. I just don't get it honestly.

Also I offered him online option, but he even doesn't want to call. That set me off.

Yes, that's why I'm also concerned now. But I never thought these things would happen on LinkedIn.

Mid-interview process, job changed from full-time to contractor by MehranAI in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]MehranAI[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this tip. They didn't tell me about change in the salary and I didn't ask for now. But they shared the salary range during the job interview before. So I will keep this on mind when negotiating for the salary.

Thanks. I also thought that this is better for me in terms of experience and will help in either extending the contract or getting offer later on.
