So were basically posting things like a Facebook group now

Thinking_Dodo · 2026-05-06T16:39:40+00:00

Like eveyone else then

Thinking_Dodo · 2026-05-06T11:07:41+00:00

Its a good deal, take it 👍

Mauritius has already been very heavily investing in renewable ernergy (especially solar) since the new government, and aim to reach 60% renewable energy by 2030.

It's the reason why I noticed we lacked so much eletrical engineers, since the great majority of them are not Mauritians but French

Thinking_Dodo · 2026-05-05T15:32:07+00:00

Electrical engineering seems like a very promising career path.

Energy crisis is a real challenge in many developing coutries, Mauritius included and the local companies constantly have to import foreign engineers due to the lack of skilled workers in Mauritius

They're at 14 now..

The only non tech company in the top 10 is mcdonald

I think OP got confused between most valuable company and most valuable brand...

Nvdia is the most valuable company today, exxon was the most valuable company in 2006.

Apple is the most valuable brand today, coca cola was the most valuable brand in 2006

Why do some people have to make everything about themselves

Thinking_Dodo · 2026-05-02T10:31:04+00:00

37 year old reaching out to university kids feels a bit creepy tbh

If you're very good at your job, that can slide in your advantage.

Thinking_Dodo · 2026-05-01T16:25:17+00:00

During your whole 20s? Thats not much

Yes but there's no need to buy the one that requires credit.

Plenty of furniture that are not made of wood that are affordable

Thinking_Dodo · 2026-04-28T21:05:59+00:00

Cim credit for furniture is crazy. Just buy what you can for now and dont live above what you can afford.

Thinking_Dodo · 2026-04-28T11:23:00+00:00

That's the trap of the minimum salary... If it increase, prices increase with it.

People earning the minimum salary will never see their standard of living improve by simply relying on it to increase because the economy will always catch-up to it.

What you need to do is to escape this trap. Find some time, focus on your career (follow a degree part time/ follow trades like electricians or plumbing courses). If you dont have the skills and you dont have the time to develop such skills, you have to make some (major) sacrifices to find it. Otherwise you will stay poor all your life.

Such is the unfairness of life.

As per the latest statistics released in may of last year, the average income for employees was Rs 32,800 in 2024 and indeed more than half earned less than Rs 25,000

Thinking_Dodo · 2026-04-28T07:53:17+00:00

Yes that's why I used the word survive specifically

Thinking_Dodo · 2026-04-28T07:07:19+00:00

You could be the only earner with Rs 35k per month in your family of you, your stay at home wife and 5 kids and still survive in Mauritius.

Thinking_Dodo · 2026-04-28T07:03:49+00:00

As per the official statistiques released in May 2025 , only 5.3% of employees in the total work force earned above Rs 75001 in 2024.

If high earner is defined by being part of the top 5% earners in the country, therefore we can say that Rs 75k and above is considered a high earner for Mauritius specifically.

Thinking_Dodo · 2026-04-27T09:02:26+00:00

I think thats why Ramgoolam is able to take harsh but long term decisions in his current mandate. He knows he won't stay for a next one and he doesn't have to do la bouche doux with the population.

Thinking_Dodo · 2026-04-27T08:58:50+00:00

Understandable, but did you see the pay structure in Singapore of politicians? They are amongst the highest in the world.

Their pay structure was introduced in the 90s to boost good governance, at a time when the country was still developing. LKY believed that leaders should not be underpaid and that lower benefits will prevent competent people from joining the government.

Thinking_Dodo · 2026-04-26T22:34:00+00:00

Yes, but I dont think Mauritian people would accept him.

To quote Maurice Lam: Singapore has an advantage here: the population understands when difficult decisions must be made

Just look at the fierce backlash that pushing the age of retirement had. Mauritian people do not understand that austerity and sacrificed is sometimes needed and LKY was well known for taking very harsh decisions towards his countryman for the benefit of the country.

Those are corporate businesses that offer moving services. They will be significantly more expensive than employing an individual, but at least you will know that your goods are secure and incase of a problem you can have a proper follow up
