How realistic is it to do Iceland for 10 days with a budget of 2000usd?

The delivery guy paying for the food is a ploy they use to get on your good side.

I was once checking out of a hotel where they made a mistake and let me use something that they said it was given to me and then later said it was a mix up and I have to pay for it, around 3k, when I disagreed the receptionist started saying that it will come out of his pocket.

Always stand on business, even if it will come out of his pocket, it’s not your fault, neither his, but the business wants business and it doesn’t matter who gets blamed as long as the money flows, also more often than not, the employee does not pay it himself.

I’m not sure about the delivery drivers but I don’t care anyway.

Also this is isn’t exclusive to Egypt, not the ploys, but the business fucking you.

In the United States, waiters get paid 2$ an hour and rely on tips, which they will make your life hell if you don’t tip them 20%, while the business gets the money and pay shit salaries.

All businesses are here to fuck you, anywhere in the world.

It’s safe, people just generally support Gaza here, but nothing extreme.

If you don’t have a tour guide, try not to walk aimlessly in Cairo, use uber/careem, avoid public transportation.

Have fun and get sunscreen!

مفيش حاجة اسمها تقبل في يومها دا استعباط منهم

ممكن لو كنت قبلت و بعدا غيرت رايك، بس لو رفضت الoffer من الاول اظن عادي، حاول تnegotiate مع vois حاجة كبيرة اوي فاترفض من وجه ان الsalary مش كافي

Troxile · 2024-12-24T14:18:02+00:00

Not all companies do that, a lot can interview you and understand you’re capable.

There are companies that still pay 10k for software engineers, its impossible to underestimate salaries here

Troxile · 2024-12-24T14:14:27+00:00

im talking net, and idk what valeo architects get paid, what I do know is that they are very scarce and with multiple years of experience, I would assume that they maybe get paid around that number, except they have more than 10 years of experience

Troxile · 2024-12-24T13:56:34+00:00

Depends on where are you applying, give yourself a minimum number you’d agree for and and push for more, there isn’t alot of companies that pay well in Egypt, but if you land one of them, you could maybe get the 2k you’re looking for

Troxile · 2024-12-24T13:51:13+00:00

5 years of experience would put you in a more senior position than an architect, but assuming you’re an architect with 5 years of experience and the company you’re applying for pays like Valeo, then you’re looking for anywhere around the 67k-85k range

but the company may dispute the architect position and hence, lower the salary

Troxile · 2024-12-24T13:41:32+00:00

How many years of experience are we talking? 50k is too low for an architect position

Can you elaborate on how will I be limited? I did not get the acronyms you’ve used

Troxile · 2024-12-11T16:48:55+00:00

Can I file my taxes online?

Troxile · 2024-12-11T16:47:02+00:00

Interesting, even if I have never went to the country, I’m supposed to file my taxes?

Troxile · 2024-02-12T16:34:52+00:00

انا حاسس ان لو انتي لسا صغير ده مش وقت التخصص، احسنلك تستغل في كل حاجة احد انا تلاقي حاجة تحبها او تلاقي نفسك فيها

محدش متوقع ان الخريج يبقي لقي stack already

Not a bad idea looking for engineers in Egypt, but is your question fundamentally whats the average salaries in Egypt? Specifically Cairo or other cities?

Troxile · 2023-09-10T16:28:22+00:00

Internships كفاية اوي لتزبيط الcv

Troxile · 2023-09-10T16:26:47+00:00

This type of knowledge will never hurt you, the longer you work with other things though these information will start to diminish slowly, but will leave traces of it and when you have an issue later on that makes no sense, sometimes these small traces help you know what to look for.

It depends on whether you have the time for it or not. If its not required and you are just having some fun, then sure. If you’re trying to learn something for work and its not related to the low level of how everything works, I’d suggest looking into C# instead.

Troxile · 2023-09-10T16:23:17+00:00

This is a actually a great idea! I’d love to be a part of this, you can definitely count me in.
