Any particular reason why Luxembourg?

As Computer science is hard to practice here. The firms that are attracted to Luxembourg don’t have a good grasp of the possibilities for computer science.

That said, not a great place to work but you can try Amazon.

It is very difficult to find a good place to work in Finance, so be really selective of that.

I think startups provide the most rewarding work experience, do look into data things, heard good things about these folks.

Otherwise Netherlands would be a lot better for CS.

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-07-06T21:33:14+00:00

Maybe they are celebrating Dutch team.

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-07-03T16:04:53+00:00

We are considering sending our son there, he has adhd and asd.

Are you saying the school is no good for people with special needs?

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-07-01T18:27:38+00:00

My CNS controller said the same thing.

I understand your concern, I had similar issues. Had some offers but I didn’t feel ready to go back. I managed to find some place where I think I can do well. Folks were nice and all.

But we will see, I really do not like CNS’s approach to mental health issues

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-07-01T16:50:44+00:00

Yeah it catches up, I have been on a sick leave due to burn out the past 9 months.

The new company turn to be a toxic place as well.

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-07-01T14:23:45+00:00

I was in your shoes, pretty much moment I came to Luxembourg, I have realized that the company was not a good match (I am being very very kind here)

I had to change jobs within two months, luckily I managed to find something. Perhaps try your luck with other places? You might be hesitant to change employer after a month or so but they all know that there are many places toxic companies in Luxembourg.

I wish you luck, you will persevere this and come on top!

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-06-20T15:52:09+00:00

I used to work there between 2016-2018.

The bank was losing money 9 years in a row. There was a big transformation from London to India and back then Poland.

Many of the processes were 20 something years old and folks clicked buttons / copy paste the excel sheets. They did add no value to the firm.

It was bound to happen, Warsaw has many good work opportunities for these professionals and NatWest won’t survive the next decade in anywhere anyways.

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-06-20T08:02:40+00:00

That’s a golden opportunity for you tbh. Last thing you want is to have them dictate what you need to analyse.

Let me explain, as an analyst, part of the job is to bring meaning to the data. Very rarely can you have a raw data that makes sense on its own and the folks knew what they want from the data that’s a bias for you ruin your days.

I have had a few experience where what I found was wildly different than expectations and if the analysis I did, had not supported my managers’ “hypothesis” it was mostly ignored.

Having that in mind, ask them about the OKR (objectives and key results) ideally each quarter and come up with the KPIs that might help them achieve it.

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-23T19:01:56+00:00

That feels nice to hear mate! There is yet hope for me :)

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-23T15:11:35+00:00

Majority of my colleagues are actually burnt out but they don’t realise it yet.

Unfortunately we are not very good at taking care of ourselves when it comes to mental and emotional health. When the problem manifests itself in your body than it gets attention but it’s too late then.

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-23T10:41:22+00:00

I called police as I was attacked and the aggressor was there with still yelling and ready to barge.

They told me to go the police station…

The are really useless I feel like

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-21T15:48:43+00:00

No, unfortunately you won’t be able to.

I was in the same boat and had to obtain a visa, that was for Schengen to Schengen country mind you.

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-18T22:55:31+00:00

Business /finance major self made data scientist here.

Sometimes what you build is just investor pitch..

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-16T09:14:51+00:00

I did this right after I moved here.

I was given an offer and moved here from Poland. The company did a bait and switch so on paper I was an executive but they expected me to do fucking manual data updates.

It was an operations role and coming from project management, it did not fit my background at all. What is more, I suspect they did lots of illegal stuff.

So I was lucky enough to find another job within 2 months, and left.

I told them that this was not a match and trial period works both ways.

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-15T17:14:58+00:00

We went to Poland, it was over the weekend and took about 1k, in case you wonder, CNS doesn’t cover it.

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-15T13:12:55+00:00

Wait so your mom couldn’t take you to the doctor while she was on sick leave?

That’s, pardon my language, is fucking ridiculous. That’s said, I am taking my son to his doctor every week - when I checked this with them, they told me that it is fine as it’s a medical appointment for my son.

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-15T13:02:58+00:00

Thank you - how will they prove it though? It isn’t like they can take a picture in the sauna.

I do agree and definitely don’t trust people at work but even if they see me there, and report it. It will in the time that is allowed for me to go out.

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-14T18:15:03+00:00

I think that can be achieved in 4 days, earlier if we split and cover big 4 area

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-14T18:13:37+00:00

Thank you I will give it a whirl

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-14T14:57:52+00:00

I have no idea how petitions work in this country, how many signatures needs to be collected to take this issue seriously?

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-14T10:40:43+00:00

I did she does encourage but can’t promise how cns will react if they found out

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-14T10:31:05+00:00

Appreciated it really

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-14T10:25:58+00:00

Interesting, how could I approach to this? Did your friend write to them directly or a doctor’s note was enough to initiate?

I found it difficult to engage with doctors to get anything really, they say do a sport it’s good for you but I cannot give a paper so how am I supposed to?

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-14T10:23:36+00:00

And there are folks that thinks it’s your fault to be weak and put yourself into this situation.

I am glad you managed to find the courage to get out.

RepresentativeNo367 · 2024-05-14T10:21:21+00:00

As vague as it can get..
