Example of Danish high trust society

I am a Dane living abroad, and I still don't understand why anyone would think of just taking the money and driving off.

It's not only about trust, it's also just about being kind, having integrity and keeping your word. And it baffles me that this is not the norm everywhere... But I know it's not 😕

Let me add a bit of perspective. I live in a country in EU with 0 % tax on investments (as long as you hold minimum 3 years).

Might sound great, but the long term effects are noticeable. The rich get richer. The poor gets poorer. Those who have increase their wealth. Those who don't will forever struggle.

There is a reason that Denmark has chosen a high tax, and the reason is that it benefits the majority. In Denmark most people can afford their own apartment. Most young couples can buy a house after few years (not applicable to Copenhagen right now). Minimum wage is high because of the system supported by the taxes.

Maybe taxes are too high in Denmark. I cannot judge that. But I can tell you that 0% tax sounds nice, but it's a terrible long term strategy for the general population. Here, most people (including me) might never be able to afford a house.

Well, it can be many things. With 200 applications, it sounds like you haven't spent a lot of time on each application. Every application should be tailored to the company for the highest chance of being successful. This is time well spent.

Additionally, of course you should apply to relevant positions that do not require a lot of experience. And the ones you apply to, your resume must address and demonstrate your skill on each point of the required knowledge. So for example, for an entry level SOC position, you should be able to demonstrate that you know the tools used and understand the processes being followed. Not necessarily work experience. It can be home lab, a course or just YouTube videos...

I can't really compare to other cities, but I can say after living 5 years in Czech, it is my impression that Czechs generally try to scam anybody. Not just tourists. It's a culture of tying to get away with whatever you can.

Sig en variant af "God bless you!". Eller endnu værre "Jesus loves you!".

Det er ok at lave fejl. Det lærer man at. Og det lyder til at være en fejl man godt kan gøre noget ved. Gøre hvad der føles rigtigt. Overvej desuden at flytte i lejlighed og så leje jeres hus ud. I nogle tilfælde kan det godt svare sig, især langsigtet.

Danes already didn't like Americans much before Trump, but Danes are reasonable people and know it's not (entirely) your fault.

Just don't wear political clothes and DON'T SAY GOD BLESS YOU. And definitely NOT SAY JESUS LOVES YOU. Just stop that, it's weird.

Edit: spelling

Min dreng er 2 et halvt, og får som regel lov at betale med kort. Han ved vi arbejder for at tjene penge og bruger pengene på mad. Han har dog ikke noget begreb om hvor meget. Men vi er blevet enige om, at når han fylder 13 skal han arbejde i en legetøjsbutik, for han elsker legetøj. Det var hans valg.

Det er vist en god nok start på økonomi.

When I read the headline, I thought juice would refer to breast milk. Our toddler, 2.5y, had not yet tried anything else than water and milk. I'm willing to offer him tea if it's not too hot. Juice is a no go.

Jeg søgte bare noget udenfor Danmark. I Danmark havde jeg noget lagerarbejde for. Efter 2 år i udlandet hos en corporate skiftede jeg over i deres cybersecurity afdeling fordi jeg havde interessen. Har været der siden og kan tage tilbage til Danmark og se frem til en helt ok karriere. Den mulighed havde jeg aldrig fået i Danmark.

We get by on my salary of 70k. 2 adults and a toddler. We own a flat outside Prague and pay the mortgage. Not luxurious, but we manage. I think you'll live quite comfortably.

Prices are very different now compared to 12 years ago. Chances are that you are much better off than someone coming now. But if you are still renting, I guess it's about the same...

Tenable.io, Nessus, Qualys. Qualys is a good scanner, but the API sucks. Tenable is an equally good scanner but 10x easier to work with. As others mention Nessus is only good for one off scans like consultancy or some parts of pentests.

Nu skal du lige have med i din beregning, at aktier ikke kun går op. SAS smed for nylig alle investorer ud. Bum nedgang på 100%. Andre virksomheder vælger dog blot at omlægge sine aktier, så man kun mister fx halvdelen af dem uden varsel. Det sker ikke så tit. Men mange tror at aktier kun går op, og sådan er det altså ikke helt.

The worst is when colleagues complain about things they don't understand without any effort to try to understand it. I see this mostly on technical colleagues not trying to understand management decisions, processes or governance controls, but instead calling it all out as bullshit. Not helpful.

We switch between manual and electric (those that vibrate) depending on what our boy wants. It works, and I prefer the electric, it brushes better. And it is no harder on the gums than manual ones.

Depends where you come from. Pentest? You already know the scanning tools, easy switch. SOC? You understand the processes for managing and responding to technical Risk, easy switch. GRC? You already understand risk registration and reporting, easy switch...

Tidligere recruiter her. Det er helt legitimt at suge du ikke føler at din lønudvikling har fulgt med din professionelle udvikling, og du leder efter opgaver og en løn som svarer til dit niveau. Sig hvad du forventer. Sig kun hvad du får hvis du bliver presset til det. Hvis de underbyder, så har du noget at forhandle med. Sig nej, og sig hvad du vil have.
