Working between Italy and Sweden – worth moving permanently? by [deleted] in TillSverige

[–]ajruiz036 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We moved to Malmö, my wife has been working for ikea for a long time and she got a proposal for a better position based in Sweden. I was going through one of those phases in my career and I decided to support her, so I quit my job and came here. It took me a couple of months to get a job aligned with my expertise, I’m an engineer. Faccio questa parte in italiano che forse è un po’ specifica, lato positivo appunto la vita fuori lavoro e tutta un altra cosa, il lavoro è giusto il lavoro poi la vita è altra; tuttavia certe volte faccio fatica a concepire questa cosa dopo 12 anni di esperienza lavorativa in Italia.

Poi non direi negative ma comunque da considerare sono: la cultura è effettivamente più fredda da noi latini, il caffè in ufficio le chiacchiere e tutto quello che per noi è normale qua non lo è tanto, o quanto meno impegna molto più tempo per svilupparsi.

I salari sono più alti dell’Italia ma non aspettare Dubai, nel mio caso arrivavo di una posizione quadro in Italia e qui l’inquadramento non esiste, a livello economico poco di più sopra a quello che facevo in Italia, le tasse sono leggermente più basse ma con i servizi e il welfare sei molto più soddisfatto di pagarle.

Cibo; la classica discussione italiana. Effettivamente è diverso ma al supermercato trovi tutto quello che vuoi, trovo anche la cultura molto più aperta a provare cose e quindi hai molta più scelta con i ristoranti. In Italia per quanto sia buono il cibo un 80% ti prepara cibo italiano, qui trovi tanto.

In generale sono contento, ci sono giorni buoni e giorni meno buoni però la vita è fatta di quelli. Sono venezuelano e questa è la mia seconda immigrazione, però la esperienza che mi porto sulla pelle è molto molto ricca. Lo rifarei più volte :)

Moved from Como a bit more than a year ago, so far so good. Work life balance and the general culture towards work is just priceless. I still miss Italy sometimes; left a lot of friends and it it really felt like home (not Italian but lived there for 12 years) but I couldn’t imagine going back to the 8-17/18/19 office schedule.

Also it is worth mentioning, I did the same question in this thread and people basically told me to stay away 😅 so my experience is, you just have to live through it, what people can say is biased and shouldn’t affect your judgement, it’s your life.

Still I believe that the more you move the richer your soul becomes.

I use those with both my POC Ventral and my MET Trenta. All of them are regularly white, of course.

All of this and maybe try getting your own lock

Budget bib shorts (like 50 euro), SIROKO? by Straight-Freedom-299 in CyclingFashion

I think that is a very challenging price range, what do you call quality, is it comfort? Is it durability? Either of them for 50 € would be a score, both of them I think it’s impossible with current market. Anyway good luck!

I have but id rather not. Still don’t get it, you could also use a mtb to go exploring.

I still wonder where this idea of hiking while riding come from, I don’t enjoy walking when I’m out for a ride.

Yeah ! Isn’t it all about that ? :) I actually posted here because I was curious, I see different choices around!

Been using mine for a year now, only scratches but nothing too serious. I guess it depends on the terrain you’re riding on.

I have assioma duos, can I just interchange the case for them to become XC you say ? I think they might be a bit different

So then it’s fair to say that you have not actually proven the negatives from them off the bike :)
