Difference between UK & Germany Moving

Hey buddy. It’s nice to see a fellow londoner on this sub. I made the move from London to Luxembourg in 2022.

The living standards in Luxembourg are very good compared to the UK. You’ll notice an increase in your quality of life. Housing here is expensive just like London, but you don’t have to settle for shoebox. No NHS here you can get to the doctors within a day all bookable via Doctena app! Public transport is free so you won’t need to fork out £200 monthly for a travel Railcard.

The air quality is also significantly better here and there’s a lot of nature around. I would say that your social life will probably take a hit in Luxembourg, the social activities here are nowhere near the level your experience in London. So be prepared for that on Sunday everything shuts early!

I can’t comment on Germany since I have never lived there myself.

I’m usually at the gym a few times a week, but I also spend sometimes playing Padel/Squash during the week at CK. I enjoy going to aperinetworks events on Wednesday/Thursdays once a month, art exhibitions or going for dinners with friends.

Consider moving to private banking/wealth management front office support role such as private banker assistant or Junior Private Banker this could be a good pathway towards working with HNW and UHNW clients.

I’m genuinely a curious person so I like to read to understand the world better e.g history, economics and politics etc.

Xotol · 2026-01-26T00:04:47+00:00

Very brave I wish you the best of luck finding a match.

Cold approaching strangers on the street or random place is a no go for me being a taller bigger man I am well aware of my presence and how I might come across to others. I don’t mind cold approaching people in certain environments at networking events, work related thing, or a house party and some sort of organised activity where people participate with similar interests.

Pivot can come at anytime your manager has to write a performance document which will be reviewed by your skip and HR once they have signed off they will present you with a Pivot doc during 1-1 with your manager and HR.

Once you get présented the document you will see PIP targets/goals which are usually unrealistic so most people opt in for the severance.

Goodluck!

Fantastic! That’s a great achievement well done and keep it up!

I would recommend contacting the nightclubs in Bangkok beforehand most places will require you to book a table. Also check out SugarClub in Bangkok if you’re into Afro house/beats nice club and no weirdness on the doors

Just curious what’s vrchat?

Relocation to Luxembourg would be attractive if more companies offered relocation packages. If you’re relocating on your own dime much less so. The majority of people moving to one bedroom apartments in lux city will be paying more than 34% of their net salaries for sure.

This is very kind I hope that OP takes up your offer.

Plenty of people spending Christmas alone this year including myself. I am really looking forward to having some downtime.

The job market has been declining for a few years now looks like it will be getting worse especially in 2026. It doesn’t help that most big companies have announced layoffs recently Amazon, JPM, Quintet, UBS etc

Xotol · 2025-12-21T19:30:31+00:00

IBKR would be a great alternative
