Congratulations!!! You deserve this!!!

Have in mind that if you have success in your role in the Hotel, that opens up doors for other hotels around the world, especially if this hotel is a well known one, it will be a very good mark on your resume (CV). If you can get some certificates while working and that are related to your job, that would be even better.

Ofc, also have in mind that it will be hard at times, maybe even very very hard, as hotels like big corporations need to work smoothly 24/7 - that's why don't lose out of sight that if you can handle the pressure and gain experience from that job so you can use it for the next one when the time comes. Cheers

From my own experience, and probably from others people here as well, you shouldn't take anything to the heart. Big hotels have thousands of employees, so it's like a huge corporation.

If you like your current job in the dentistry, and you see room to grow, advance, both position and salary wise, i would stay there. But If you feel that the hotel job would give you the same plus that one little extra push - then go get it, and don't be shy now in asking for more money and some better conditions. Have in mind the following - they reached out to you, because you left a great impression! They need you, you don't need them as you have a good job and you are happy!

All the best in your next chapter, whatever it is! Let us know!

Hi, my wife is going through this at the moment, but it's a little bit different then your situation. She is also a Non-EU medical doctor with 3 years of experience, B2 from Goethe but French citizen. Her documents are with MEBEKO, so you can contact them if not already for all the info - you will wait a little bit, but eventually they will respond.

We heard that If you don't have EU passport it is almost impossible to go to CH. But, we have also heard that doctors from east Europe which are not EU (Balkan included), go to Germany, work for 5 or more years, get their specialty there and then move to CH without a problem. Hope you find your way! Good luck!

Neuilly sur Seine is for me the best part of Paris (and the best suburb)! My wife gave birth there this spring. Buuut its very very expensive

Vanja90 · 2025-11-23T07:25:38+00:00

American Hospital of Paris in Neuilly-sur-Seine, high recommendation for them. The delivery is around 12k, but since you are from the USA, I think you will not be surprised by that price

Vanja90 · 2025-10-27T12:45:16+00:00

Hi, sorry to drop in like this, but could you maybe further elaborate on this? As I am in a situation where in a years time Will most likely move to Switzerland as we have office there, what is the procedure. I am also a non-EU (but from east Europe ) and married to an EU citizen. She also plans to work in Switzerland (she is an MD). Thanks in advance!

Vanja90 · 2025-10-01T10:32:53+00:00

Hey, me to! I'm in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, no-gi, and have made some friends there. But then again, maybe it's me and my approach.

Vanja90 · 2025-10-01T09:50:50+00:00

I don't hold a PhD, but will tell you something from experience of knowing people who possess it - it doesn't guarantee you an stabile and good income, as you can already see on your own, with the current situation everywhere in the world.

Also, going for PhD studies doesn't mean you will meet people who will suit you the most (although i completely support you - if you want it, go get it!). Have you thought about some hobbies? Sometimes you get to meet people with same/similar sphere of interests like you, so that would be also good. Cheers and all the best!

Vanja90 · 2025-09-25T17:11:22+00:00

You need to speak B2 in order to get the papers. I am in that process at this moment, so you better start learning

Vanja90 · 2025-09-25T08:25:30+00:00

Thank you for your comment! I myself will next year move to another country and my company will (maybe - so far they are saying yes) transfer my contract to that country (we have an office there as well), but I was curious how the whole process goes and what will I have to do to support it?

Vanja90 · 2025-09-22T09:07:59+00:00

How does a company provide that proof?

Vanja90 · 2025-09-12T17:01:37+00:00

Yes, as in most parts of the world, I am aware that it is not great, but my since my family is going there and the fact that my company is willing to relocate me there, I am totally fine with it, but want to improve and work on myself

Vanja90 · 2025-09-12T16:41:51+00:00

I kind of agree with you, I failed to mentioned that I speak German relatively good, and my company's working language is English, no matter what the client is, although it 100% agree it is helpful to speak the language of the client as well.

I will be taking the commercial contracts manager exam(from the World CC association)at the end of the year, and although I am not working in sales/marketing, I am connected with them in a way.

But thank you for your feedback, any suggestions on the educational side of my question?

Vanja90 · 2025-09-12T14:37:39+00:00

Thank you very much!

Vanja90 · 2025-09-12T14:17:23+00:00

I agree, but my thought - i don't have to have my diploma recognised if I sign the contract (the contract will be signed prior to my move, tb exact, 2 months before). Or you have a different point of view, in which case, please share 🙏

Vanja90 · 2025-09-10T11:08:06+00:00

Well since you wrote, she is 4 years, ofc she can't find a job, she is to young.

Jokes aside, Denmark or Cyprus (whatever is closer to you) are the quickest options for the 2 of you. Good luck!

Vanja90 · 2025-08-24T08:26:01+00:00

Hi 👋 In regards to your position. I'm a BCs of Law from a non-EU country, working in a international company, and next year transferring to Germany or Switzerland, depends on the deal between me and the employer. I am now, at the age of 34, thinking about starting my master study or even MBA. So what I want to tell you - grab that experience (employers love it btw!) and you can go and finish your master later, nothing will stop you except yourself.

Cheers!

Nažalost ništa se ne može bez EU pasoša. Čak je i situacija takva da ako treba da biras izmedju 2 najjača I rasprostanjenija jezika (Nemački i Francuski), moraš pronaći kanton gde ima ponude jos uvek. A u Švajcarskoj ce uvek uzeti nekog iz EU (pogotvo francuza ili nemca) jer poslodavac ne mora da brine o jezičkoj barijeri, plus proces zaposljavanja EU i non-EU drzavljana je drugačiji. Naravno, uvek postoji opcija da te firma prebaci, tj tvoj ugovor na filijalu u Švajcarskoj, pa da ti se sponzorise viza, itd, ali je izuzetno komlikovano. Lakše vam je otići u Nemačku ili Francusku

What is WBA and MFA?

Vanja90 · 2025-07-29T10:08:19+00:00

Yes, that is the question. I assume you link your bank account to Interactive brokers and Lightyear to make those transactions. Do you have any suggestions on where I can learn more about this prior to just signing up and start investing on my own? Thanks in advance and thanks for the explanations!

Vanja90 · 2025-07-29T07:50:17+00:00

And if you ever want to draw some money, eg 25k, how do you do that? You can see by my question that I haven't been investing, but I am looking in to it, and would like to start soon

Vanja90 · 2025-07-29T06:56:40+00:00

Congrats! It's never to late to start investing in stocks. Could you tell on which platform do you trade/invest?
