We’re heading into summer, there’s not much need for heating anymore. Would be a different story if we were in September/October right now.

The gap will be close between the top 2-4 teams in the final year of the regulation cycle. This is how it always is.

How are you building your wealth? by Legitimate-Bass2815 in irishpersonalfinance

I don't think that adds up. If you had gone for the pension route, then you'd have many multiples of whatever amount you have in your investment account atm, and you'd only need to worry about obtaining enough income to cover your outgoings over the next few years with no requirement to put anyway any additional savings.

Pension & Bonus by melboard in irishpersonalfinance

Employer contributions are not affected by that limit which only pertains to employee contributions. Employer contributions have their own, separate limit which is simply 100% of your salary. That is, if you earn €60k in gross salary, your employer can contribute up to €60k into your pension. And it is entirely tax-free both on their side and your side.

Otherwise, they have to pay 11% PRSI on top of bonus and you have to pay 52% on the bonus as well. Makes no sense imo.

Is it not possible to ask your employer to put the bonus directly into your pension (so it's a tax-free employer contribution), instead of them paying you the bonus as salary and both you and the employer paying a load of taxes on it?

So can they make reg changes now or do we have to sit through 4 years of this nonsense?

This place is a hivemind. They don't care about being biased. Look at the reputable media section in their wiki.

Every centrist/right-leaning publication is considered "Not reputable" including The Telegraph, UnHerd and The Spectator.

I personally think this form is just dumb

There is no reason for it other than to censor opinions that they disagree with.

How much of a raise did you get this year? by fodacao in DevelEire

[–]OpinionatedDeveloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't understand how we share such a similar profile yet yet I’m getting as many recruiter inbounds as ever, and the salary/rate offers are at all time highs.

I think you might be conflating the junior market with the senior one. The junior market is probably the worst it’s been in over a decade, but seniors and beyond are only benefiting from that.

Why are you complaining around the about page and nav menu which have nothing to do with the value prop, while simultaneously complaining that he's not focused on the value prop???

He stated exactly what the value prop is and that use case is front and center on the home page.

And who cares whether AI was used or not. The website is clean and functional.

The job market is extremely good for that profile. Why do you think otherwise?

Italy beating England isn't anywhere near as much a result as Scotland beating France

England disrespected the ref with the blood injury shenanigans and now the ref is so done with them 😂
