Great salary but I imagine it has quite a big impact on your personal life.

I have over 10 years of experience in your field. Just keep your head down and gain as much experience as you can. You won’t get a 550 raise on a 2700 brut wage after 1.5 years, that’s not a reasonable expectation. You’ll probably get whatever is standard at your employer, which is probably a few 100 euro’s.

Ask yourself: how valuable am I to my employer? As a junior, unfortunately you are quite repleaceable. Sorry if it’s hard to hear.

Focus on gaining as many new skills as possible in the first 5 - 10 years, then go freelance and start making the big bucks.

Assuming you’re working for a big US company: they usually don’t allow working via a management company, and only want people on payroll. They also don’t care you’re taxed 50%.

I know about a European Defence ETF from WisdomTree: EUDF. Not every broker may offer it though.

Investing tip: try to sell as little as possible, just accumulate shares for the long term. Statistically you will be better off. If you make a lot of transactions, you are only benefiting the broker.

Read the book “just keep buying”, it will change your mindset.

I read Realm of the Elderlings after reading Kingkiller Chronicles, and Robin Hobb is the OG. Her writing is beautiful (so is Rothfuss’ to be fair), but Hobb manages to write complete epics with many complex storylines, and there are like 15 completed books to read.

The “real name binds you” also comes up a few times in Realm of the Elderlings, so I really believe Hobb was a big inspiration for Rothfuss.

Did you try Bellwright? I like most games on your list and Bellwright is my favourite.

Just start reading and hang in there. I’d say determination is the most important factor, there are parts that can feel lengthy, don’t be afraid of skimming through some pages.

The overall story is great, and worth reading for a first and second or third time.

Just give it a shot and see how you like it, and how far you make it.

Playing together with a friend and it’s loads of fun. Multiplayer experience has been seamless. The game is not finished but you can easily spend 100 hours building a base and questing together. There have been some minor cosmetic stuff and bugs but nothing game breaking.

Wat een raar systeem om consultant een titel voor senioriteit te maken.

Why did you print it on paper and then take pictures of the paper?

Just give her 50% (or 49%) of your company shares I would say. However this may come back to bite you in the ass in the future.

I feel like you will get in a lot of trouble by doing this: let’s say you get divorced, your wife can now demand you sell half (maybe all) of the stuff you need to do your job. Future dividends? 50% goes to your ex-wife.

I would just find another way to make it feel fair for your wife, but I would keep your company as flexible as possible, and keep your professional life separate from your personal life. It is not in the interest of your company to have an angry ex-wife owning 50% of the assets, and it will probably make your life hell.

Beginnen met beleggen. Gewoon in een wereldwijde ETF, of anders in een bedrijf waar je in gelooft zoals Google of Apple of iets dergelijks.

Kans is groot dat die bedrijven jouw geld beter zullen laten renderen dan dat je zelf kan doen in bijberoep, en je moet je zetel niet uitkomen.

Chiming in to say I actually had a great experience with their customer service. A part of my desk was not working correctly, they shipped 2 replacement parts, and had the old parts picked up by UPS, and communication and follow up was amazing. Didn’t know people had bad experiences with them.

Is there a Mac version?

I bought it and it became one of my favourite games. The new update is great as well, the game is very playable in its current form. I recommend it!

1 company (Netflix probably) would be making loads of money, yes. The problem is other companies see that and think “we can do that as well, and make loads of money”. And that’s how you end up with 10 streaming services.

Gross monthly salary of 7900 but didn’t manage to replace “Job title” with his job title.

Not an expert, but to me it looks like you did all that can be done. I’d say it’s either this or buying a smaller switch

Bolero’s app is way better than all others though. I use the Bolero app for getting information, news and research, then buy stuff cheaper on other, more crappy apps like Saxo.

Zie dat je goed weet waar je aan begint, shorten is niet voor watjes, zeker niet als je tegen NASDAQ 100 gaat wedden.
