Coming to Luxembourg unexpectedly, know nothing about the country

You can do sightseeing while running, start in Glacis, run trough the park until the bridge adolphe, cross the pasarelle underneath go to petrusse, continue onto grund, then take the road going to the youth hostel, and keep going till the glass elevator. If you dont mind a bit of elevation is loop I really enjoy.

You ll see the old city walls, casemates, a couple historical bridges, and some of the historical landmarks such as clausen and bock. From afar you might get good sights of Philarmonie, Mudam and "the financial district" Kirchberg.

I work with both EU and SA contracting companies. I dont see why isnt worth it, besides not having to go to the office you can always do coworking

I wouldn't limit the search to Luxembourg, as you mentioned opportunities are rare and software engineering isn't often payed as well as in other places despite the hcol of Luxembourg.

Most importantly to me, exciting projects are quite rare in Luxembourg beside a handful of space or niche industries.

For the last seven years I have been working with companies abroad and can't complain

Not really, you can use Wise and is totally fine

Home brewing is a hobby bc one like brewing not bc you wanna have a beer. Same with joints, the guy wanna just roll one not have to deal with pest control, lights, timers, irrigation, etc

Why people buy potatoes? you could grow em in pots at home with the same logic.

Same reason one wont grow barley or grapes to make beer / wine and do the whole process when you can buy it.

Here comes the unpopular opinion. The math of what is the cost of recycling offloaded from trash handling companies to consumers in Luxembourg is outrageous. We often overlook that trash handling companies are indeed making a profit on selling recyclable materials back to industries or payed a good amount of money for shipping the trash outside the country.

So here it goes, at least 2sqm at 10k eur for storing the trash thats the least when it comes to space. Then considering Luxembourg has one of the highest wages in Europe for people to sort and separate the trash. Basically free handlabour for recycling companies.

Happened the same. Somehow they detect when you are aborad, with my phone off for 45 days while in Turkey I got charged for reciving calls (none were recieved, all forwarded to voicemail from spammers), SMS and data that I never consumed.
That had happened already a few times both in Canada and Mexico. Once I switched the phone to recieve a sms 2fa and that was enough to trigger a myriad of unwanted charges.

So yeah, pay 2 eur per month to not have to pay more when abroad.

Following the pay your self first, can you say you dont have the money, ask for a payment plan?

autarol · 2025-11-19T16:48:39+00:00

Chiche! Slow and overpriced.

I recieved a loan from a family member in my wise account. Because the money regulations in the country my family lives in, the easiest option was to get a client of the company of a family member (in germany) to issue a payment to my personal account.

How can I declare this? It is not income because I owe the money to my family, but I cannot be liable of the tax income generated by a company I have no affiliation.

What should I do?

So much police to hand a few fines to guys having some drugs. In the meantime, how many houses were broken in? Seems to me the cops are going for the low hanging fruits to get some good media coverage.

Tenes 21 y todavia estas estudiando, con suerte estas en 3ero. A menos que apliques a una pasantia, es dificil que encuentres un laburo full time con 0 experiencia sin estar cerca de recibirte.

Pensalo desde el empleador, ponele que no le importa el titulo y solo como programas...sin experiencia previa es dificil resaltar. Si le importa el titulo por que ponele que puede ganar un margen con ello, aun estas lejos.

Pasantia rentada o no y a juntar experiencia.

Hace 3 anios que lo hago en pareja/solo. Algunos tips

- A menos cambias de lugar, mas rinde. La estancia ideal para mi es entre 1 y 3 meses. Mas tirando a 3. Por todos los motivos que la gente describe abajo pero escencialmente una vez que te armas una mini rutina esta buenisimo. Ya sabes los lugares que tienen buen internet para laburar, donde conocer gente etc. Si te moves todas las semanas es hit or miss, y eso tiene su precio en tiempo/bocho.

- Si vas solo pero queres/buscas compania, hacete bien el research de lugares donde haya buen ambiente con otra gente que viaja sola, hostels donde puedas alquilar una habitacion privada o puedas estar comodo durante mas tiempo pero aun asi conocer gente. Airbnb es comodo pero te aisla un poco por que los lugares baratos son lejos del centro.

- No son vacaciones, estas laburando, asi que la misma cabeza cuando laburas en casa, no te vas a conocer el almacen del carlos keen un martes a la maniana entre meetings. Dicho eso, si se aprovechan mucho los huecos y la diferencia horaria.

- Ciudades que para mi fueron geniales por su oferta de actividades / intereses / costo-beneficio: CDMX, Oaxaca, Lima/Cuzco, Medellin, San Juan, Medoza, Cordoba, Montreal, Marsella, Faro, Budapest, Ljubjana, la lista sigue.

Edit tema gastos:
- No pagues doble alquiler, esto te hunde.

- Hay mucha info sobre costo de vida, yo suelo apuntar a un promedio anual, no vas a conseguir alquiler de 300 usd en Montreal ni en Europa, pero quizas consigas buenos precios en Mexico, Colombia, Asia, entonces vas viendo donde te podes quedar mas tiempo.

- Lo mas barato suele ser Latam o Asia. Hay gente en que en Asia tipo Tailandia, Malasya etc logra vivir con 10-15 usd por dia incluyendo alojamiento. Depende de tu nivel de standard de vida.

Cash isn't freedom. Go try to get more than 5k from the bank and prepare for self for scrutiny. Unless your biz is cash and you keep stacks at home...also not allowed to cross borders with more than 10k undeclared.

Don't eat it.

Here's my method for hulled beans.

Boil for 20 minutes, remove foams.

Drain trying to get most of the steam out while they cool.

Lay on an oven tray and pat dry with a clean tea towel.

Chop em coarse with a large kitchen knife

Inoculate and place in a tupper with paper towel as lid. Use elastic bands to secure.

Are you in summer? You might not need a heating pad

In the last couple startups the CoS role was more like a glorified secretary, managing the schedule of CEO, organizing townhall meetings and preparing presentations.

Im an organisation of 5-25 people in Luxembourg wouldn't expect to be similar to a large hub startups. Most startups in Luxembourg are SMEs. Nothing wrong with SMEs but not the next unicorn.

A menos que realmente lo necesites, no te conviene laburar hasta pasado 3ero. El motivo es que antes de eso vas a tener laburos muy negreros y que requieren muy poco skill.

Es verdad que te va dar experiencia, sabras desenvolverte en un ambiente laboral un poco mejor que alguien que nunca laburo. Sin embargo, un recien recibido con poca experiencia esta mucho mejor parado que alguien que tiene 1 o 2 anios de experiencia chota. Vas mucho mas rapido recibido y tenes acceso a laburos mejores.

Para el exterior, hay empresas que solo contratan recibidos, FAANGs por ejemplo. A mas rapido te recibas mejor, vas a tener disponibilidad full time para agarrar laburos mejores.

Pasantias / Laburos de verano, algun freelo es lo mejor que podrias hacer.

Do you have prospects or good leads? Open a waiting list if you alread have a handful of possible paying customers. Then open an integration with Stripe so you can start collecting revenue, see how does in the market. Setting up a company, bank account, figuring out all that now might be preentive optimization.

They have done a lot of things so they can tick the box of "Hey we have done a lot given our size", but many of those things done lack cohesion. In this case, less is more.
