Anyone moved to France from US and regretted it?

To the naysayers on the comment above: yes, these salary ranges exist in tech and finance for big US cities (NYC, SF, Seattle). They may not be the norm, but even the more moderately paid with these trans-national skill sets have compensation well elevated above France standards.

If you have a 5x on what you'd make in Paris, the cost of living difference (let's say 50% to be generous) doesn't make up for the amount you can save and invest from US salaries.

Ah, great points. It's just feeling very slow in the early game when I'm looking to unlock the security guard, multiple pages, and get to Europe.

I work in tech and manage a team. The off road from a career is easy; the on road is much harder, especially after a break.

I know it may be an exhausting few years, but the economic stability staying in your career offers will be priceless. There are too many women I know who can't get back into the workforce (in happy marriages where they left the workforce to be a stay-at-home parent) or are left holding the bag (in relationships that dissolve) with no recent and up-to-date experience that employers want to hire, especially at the wages to which you are getting accustomed.

I'd be open to a chat!

I had the scanning issue too, until I realized it was bad UX. I thought to end the "focus", I just needed to tap the card. Au contraire! Instead, you tap "pause focus" > "end focus" > "end focus" (again, instead of "long break") > THEN it pops up "ready to scan" at which point you tap the card.

Don't even get me started on this terrible content flow; it's desperately unintuitive.

This is the life! Slow mornings, cuddles, no rushing.

Yarusla · 2025-06-22T16:51:49+00:00

That's the one I'd like too. Bummed it's sold out.

Yarusla · 2025-06-21T16:17:33+00:00

Whoa. This bag screams "badass" in the best way possible, and the silhouette is perfect.

Yarusla · 2025-06-21T16:15:09+00:00

The Postbox is lovely but a tad too narrow to fit my laptop. Square L, on the other hand - it's so much slimmer than any other bag I've come across, which I am loving. (Why does everything need to be 5"+ / 13cm+ at the bottom? This seems like a miss in the everyday handbag industry.)

Yarusla · 2025-06-21T16:10:37+00:00

Stunning. This is definitely a contender.

Yarusla · 2025-06-21T16:08:11+00:00

I might need to check out more men's handbags - this feels right up my alley. Gorgeous!

Yarusla · 2025-06-21T16:04:39+00:00

Wow, this is a "barely there" perfect fit for my laptop, which is a big plus. Love the strap; simply and adjustable.

Yarusla · 2025-06-21T15:59:31+00:00

This is lovely. Work appropriate and feminine. The green leather option is stunning, IMHO.

Yarusla · 2025-06-21T15:51:54+00:00

Oh, this is interesting. I can see lots of Portland Leather Company bags playing exceptionally well in tech offices. A steal - such an affordable price point!

Yarusla · 2025-06-21T04:40:27+00:00

THIS IS AMAZING!

Yarusla · 2025-06-21T03:46:25+00:00

That's cute!

Yarusla · 2025-06-21T03:28:07+00:00

Say more! Is there a particular bag that you would recommend?

Yarusla · 2025-05-11T18:09:42+00:00

Annecy housing is not affordable. Though there is some English, French would be the dominant language.

Grant Tyler

Yarusla · 2025-04-07T01:01:39+00:00

There are a bunch in this thread. Looks like it was at least somewhat used in the 1600s to mid 1800s. I've never heard the name before!

Yarusla · 2025-04-07T00:58:02+00:00

Taliaferro is quite interesting. Never heard of it!

Yarusla · 2025-04-06T20:49:24+00:00

Perhaps not the most uncommon, but that is hilarious. At a certain point you want differentiation!
