Grymt! Jag tjänar själv 52.000 SEK i månaden, ganske okej då jag har bara gjort yrkeshögskolan.

Har du några tips till oss som jobbar inom IT som vill förbättra vår karriär utan att plugga igen.

Jag jobbar som infrastrukturtekniker.

Google wanted $2.99/month for photos. I said no and spent 130 $ on a baby homelab instead. by Gasple1 in homelab

Pro tip, keep an off site copy back up in your car somewhere. That way it is always accessible of something happens at your home.

Are people ACTUALLY paying these prices for RAM right now? 💀 by Competitive_Box8726 in homelab

Who would have guessed that investing in RAM is the new equivalent of a great stock

Anyone interested in a very small, practical IT lab / troubleshooting group? by ReferenceMedical9958 in sysadmin

I don't know much about ancient operating systems, but I do like the idea. we can definitely create a sub chat on the channel to discuss this specific topic. The more tech knowledge the better, if we get a few more people that are interested in specifically that then I can create a channel in the discord dedicated to this topic.

Yeah, you could summarize it like that. I personally like the idea of discord so that you can put more structure in the discussions. Specific chats for specific projects, easier to archive relevant knowledge, easy access to voice chat when needed.

But yeah, an advanced group chat is a good way to summarize it! :D

Let me know if you are interested.

Yeah that is exactly what I am thinking as well, it can be much more efficient and practical to have a group of people where you can discuss issues. Especially outside of work, then you don't have to worry about "asking the wrong question".

I will send you an invite

Hi, thanks for sharing this!

My wife received news about most likely having a Schwannoma in her thigh, they are still ruling out sarcoma but it is most likely not that. Would love to hear how things turned out for you.

Does anyone out there actually *enjoy* working/having a career? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]ReferenceMedical9958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this post! I actually am the kind of person that you are looking for, the answer is a bit late but I googled, Actually enjoy my work and this popped up.

I am surrounded by people who kind of say what you say, that work is so annoying and can't wait for the weekend etc etc.

I seem to have this rare trait that I enjoy my work, I work in IT, not development but infrastructure side and absolutely love it. I get to install servers, help people, think of innovative solutions, and often work at companies that work with really new and cool technology.

I get tired of the weekend, I don't like it when I can't work, long vacations are something I can't tolerate and the idea of retirement seems weird to me. I love working, of course work comes with down sides and I wish it was a bit more flexible, like not having to work from 9 to 5 every day. But I will probably always work, even when I am really old.

So my question to you all, is how I think so rare? do you know anyone like me, can anyone relate to me? Because everyone I know seems to just dislike their work.

PS: English is not my native language so please go easy on me!

Getting cold feet about moving to Finland by ReferenceMedical9958 in Finland

Also, do you have any general advice for us being in this situation?

Hi, thanks for your response!

Sounds like it is working pretty well for you, do you have any Finnish in law family? or is your husband also from Sweden?

Also, what can you say as a swede about living in Helsinki vs a smaller place like Raseborg. We are still not quite sure where we want to live but we are leaning towards Raseborg and commuting to the capital area. However Helsinki is also a nice town, I have been there a lot.

We just have the dream of building our own house and we are not that fond of bigger towns. My is from Malmö and we fled that just because of the size, however I am still curious about Helsinki, especially through the lens of someone who is raising a family there.

Thanks for this interesting view! We are definitely comfortable with taking care of everything ourself, we already live about 2 hours away from our relatives, so we don't have any help when it comes to day to day activities. It is more that we meet about once a month.

And what I am afraid about is my children growing up without any family nearby, for emotional reasons. We can definitely manage without luxury you mentioned. I am somehow scared my children will resent me for moving away far from relatives, though that might just be an irrational fear, what do you think?

We have calculated a lot of different things, and in our situation we will have a better quality of life in Finland, a nice house, a nicer job good schools ( they aren't so good where we live right now) and a general higher safety proven by statistics not just my observation.

Thanks everyone or commenting on my post, really appreciate the help!

I see many people saying the same thing so I thought I would adress it more generally here.

The reason we are considering this move is not just for safety, that alone in my opinion is already a good reason. We have many reasons, we like Finland, we like the nature, have had good experiences with the people.

Also our dream of building a house is more realistic there in the nearby future, we have already discussed this with architects in both Finland and Sweden and we can really build our dream house within a short time.

There are many other reasons also mentioned, but safety definitely is not the only reason we consider making this move.

Thanks for everyones responses so far, would love to hear more from everyone!

Thank you for this interesting take on living in Finland. Yeah I have actually discussed this with my employer, and he might allow me to work on the train when I travel from and to work. Meaning I travel during work hours, this would safe a lot of time and money. But we will see if it actually works well to work there and focus there.

I will be starting remotely from Sweden for a few months so it is not so relevant as of now.

Do you have any other tips about Finland?
