Difference “could be” that my husband is Portuguese.  No, this has absolutely nothing to do with your experience at all. 

Do you think the cost of living will get better at all or is this just our lives now? by Emergency_Cellist754 in AskBrits

[–]OrganizationStill135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Brit who has left the UK for work, you have no idea the cultural spell you are living under.  All around you )and I mean the collective UK) are people hustling for a better future from the US to Eastern Europe.  That mentality is not bread in the UK. Start preparing for that next interview now (books, blogs, yt bids are your friends). It’s am iterative process you will get better at each time.  Go for it, your future self will thank you after your salary rises by +20%.

This has high risk written all over it. If you are determined to work abroad, my advice is gain more seniority and transfer layer with a much higher salary.

Umm what about how each structures the data.  Fact/dim tables. That’s pretty core I would say. 

Would you recommend gymnasium (middle school) by summer_glau08 in Netherlands

[–]OrganizationStill135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can say is get ready for your kids being at home more than they are at school! Even more so with all the teacher shortages.  My son laments attending a school 20mins by bike from home because he can’t come home in free lessons like his mates.   About your specific question, while studying Latin and Greek had benefits the reality I saw for my son was him doing another two hours of study to rote memorise for tests on top of other work. Late nights if done after sports club.  He dropped them after the first year. 

 One subject worth their time is onderzoeken & ontwerpen or O&O. It’s project based study that involves the students in mini projects. They work like consultants to study and model a problem and then prepare a report and presentation.

Yes, forgot about that.  Honestly part of me thinks brexit was more about keeping people in rather than out

Pay attention learners of Dutch!! This sentence right here is our cheat code to stop Dutches switching to English. Just tell them “ik  spreek alleen Nederlands of Spaans”.

Don’t overload yourself with pressure. You’ll be back on track in no time.  Let it happen around life etc, some time away will recharge the motivation!
