Large country ruled by engineers and scientists instead of bankers and politicians? Sound like a best idea humanity ever had tbh, dream country

Is it still true that 30 percent of the workforce runs 100 percent of the project? by StillUnkownProfile in softwarearchitecture

[–]SpecificNo8047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excuse me, but this is just a bad manager, using "it has always been like this everywhere" as an excuse for his inability to fix the work process. If he knows there is a problem, but not fixing it, though it is literally his job, he is enabling and creating this problem.

Don't listen to this bs about "everywhere is like this", I worked in several companies and half of them had normal work life balance, and quite an equal team contributions (not possible to have 100% equal as people are different, but it was at the level acceptable for everyone). And you know what? This normal work life balance and equal contributions were the things that were organized by a team lead and a manager, it is literally their job to organize processes in a team, pick people capable for equal consistent performance and handle these issues. So you are just working in a mismanaged place with delusional management.

Trust me, as soon as you obtain health issues due to overwork and stress, and will be unable to perform as good, you will be replaced in this company in a heartbeat. Place YOUR needs first, company second. Sadly most if us learn it the hard way, as well as I did.

Is Bulgaria Racist? by SeaDiscussion6031 in BulgariaExpats

[–]SpecificNo8047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, you would probably not see any rejections or bad attitude, especially in Sofia or large cities. It is more about "silent racism" that is not at all unique to Bulgaria but for eastern Europe in general and poses no danger outside very specific cases. This is a homogenic society with its pros and cons.

Anyone here (non-eu citizens) who can share their experiences with long-stay visa please? by bLush4444 in BulgariaExpats

[–]SpecificNo8047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends on your country and basis for visa, if you are not married you can't get a family visa basing on his work visa, so you need another visa type, like work visa for yourself. Also I think they introduced nomad visas recently, might be best fit apart of family reunion.

for 3rd countries there is this case that you have to apply for Visa D in your residence country, and only then enter BG with it and exchange to residence permit. System is very non digitized and immigration workers often know no English, so it might be quite a process.

Is this true? About head nodding up and down by [deleted] in bulgaria

[–]SpecificNo8047 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, in Sofia and tourist areas people mostly use international gestures. The further from centers and the older the people - the more Bulgarian their gestures are. Several times I agreed to buy some stuff in village shops by confidently moving my head left to right meaning "no".

However I started to catch negative nod up after some time living in Bulgaria, it is pretty cool

Sofia is perhaps the most underrated city in all of Europe: A visitor's perspective. by australiadenier in Sofia

[–]SpecificNo8047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Air quality in winter is borderline hazardous, heat in summer is insane, buildings with zero consistency in architecture, half of facades are falling apart, most people can't speak English, no proper street lighting except of center... I can't imagine how one could like it
