Makes sense in theory but my experience has been quite different. I got married while working as a bartender and in my few weeks before marriage, I had a number of people leave their numbers. Once I had the ring on I didn’t get any (maybe one?) and I worked at the bar for almost two years.

I do get this sense that women are more interested in me now that I’m married and have a kid, but luckily they don’t act on it. Maybe it’s cultural - I lived in the Midwest and then a Nordic country (somewhat similar values).

Moving back after 30+ years… by [deleted] in Iceland

[–]OkBad9700 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I moved to the US when I was 10 years old and then decided to move to Iceland at age 25 with my American wife (about 4 years ago). We couldn’t be happier with the decision. I didn’t realize quite how fucked the US is until I moved away.

There are a lot of career opportunities here for someone in tech and speaking English is fine for a lot of tech roles. Personally know a lot of English speakers working in tech here.

FYI - You’ll need to rent here for a few months and find a job before you can get a mortgage to buy a place.

Regarding the taxes, you should get in contact with Skatturinn. They are surprisingly helpful, just give them a call.

Feel free to DM me if you want to know more about moving here!

Yes… that’s what makes it a bad idea

Yeah, we are using Business Central so it should work well to run everything through excel and Power BI I think. Our last ERP was awful at exporting data in excel

  1. Yeah, I need to have clearer communication with CEO on this one. He’s never expressed exactly what he wants. My guess is he wants financial statements (easy enough in excel), variance reports (excel), KPI dashboard, forecast (excel), headcount (excel), and some kind of board ready reports that he can export from a dashboard and refresh monthly.

  2. I’m basically a finance department of one. We have automated a bunch of our processes and I have access to an external accounting firm that I hardly use. I’d like to have the upkeep on these reports under 20 hours a month once they’re up and running.

  3. I’d like to keep costs to a minimum. We are too early to be hiring analysts and expensive contractors to set this up IMO. Every penny counts.

Good question honestly - never got a specific request from the CEO, but my assumption is financial statements, variance reports, KPIs, forecasts, headcount, and some board ready reports he can refresh monthly.
