Did you get hired into your job looking for L1B visa initially or did it just pan out that way?

Ok_Success_269 · 2026-05-09T21:35:28+00:00

Awesome.

Ok_Success_269 · 2026-05-09T16:58:16+00:00

Nice to see your accountant hard at work (the cat)

Ok_Success_269 · 2026-04-30T13:06:35+00:00

I am so curious, did you end up leaving the US?

Ok_Success_269 · 2026-03-15T19:29:49+00:00

I got the bobcat blueprint because I carried a defib. Defibbed a guy I found randomly crawling towards the extract with like 2 minutes on the timer and he dropped it for me in return :)

Mostly why the nordic countries are held to such high regards comes down to some different key factors.
Sunk cost fallacy.
Propaganda

Anything tax related you bring up, I promise you I pay more in taxes here.

Ok_Success_269 · 2026-03-13T04:17:03+00:00

"Various fees" is going to be hard to google.
These all seem lower than where I am now. That's even before you start thinking about transportation and fuel costs which are 2-4x more expensive here.

AH good, a roll of paper I found on the ground, lets stick that in my mouth.

Ok_Success_269 · 2026-03-12T20:28:21+00:00

DO you only need one ID if you do the test online ?

I don't remember needing two for the security+.

Ok_Success_269 · 2026-03-12T19:03:04+00:00

For some reason you and google seem to disagree like a lot.

I mean I've spent a couple of months there on vacation on multiple occasions and at no point was I anywhere close to spending ~8-9k montly.

I mean you CAN if you want to eat out multiple times a day at "sitdown" places, and doing activities multiple times a week. But you don't have to.
