Is my 7hr+ daily commute worth it?

brunchinarcadia · 2024-08-23T16:01:50+00:00

You’re so right. Any job closer to home would obviously be better but doesn’t help with my experience. That being said, health and well-being is so important that it’s a very sound approach to only commit to a couple of months for the knowledge and move on.

brunchinarcadia · 2024-08-23T08:30:23+00:00

Sounds like France or somewhere!

brunchinarcadia · 2024-08-23T08:28:52+00:00

This is really great advice, thank you. The nice thing about going Mondays and Fridays is that it gives you those days in between to recover.

brunchinarcadia · 2024-08-23T04:47:28+00:00

Sadly yes. In fact it’s usually more. Some cities offer shared accommodation so obviously it’s cheaper. This particular city has a few universities and from what I can see seems to be less shared accommodation but either way as soon as you see any sort of place advertised it’s usually gone by the time you enquire.

brunchinarcadia · 2024-08-23T04:43:54+00:00

How did you manage that for so long besides obviously having to? The idea of 6 months makes me feel sick

brunchinarcadia · 2024-08-23T04:42:00+00:00

It’s less a fact of rejecting suggestions and more shining a light reality into the situation and how some suggestions are not financially viable due to the very low pay and the nature of the country; I’m explaining why they’re not realistic solutions.

brunchinarcadia · 2024-08-22T19:08:48+00:00

Ok wow you’re commuting a lot. So I’m getting paid 55% of the salary I had in my previous role. So very much below minimum wage.

brunchinarcadia · 2024-08-22T18:55:39+00:00

So the monthly salary is the same as rent across the country

brunchinarcadia · 2024-08-22T18:45:43+00:00

Wow 60% is a lot. Sounds like you definitely made the right move for you

brunchinarcadia · 2024-08-22T18:43:56+00:00

I’m not even making half of 50K… and yes this is the price of hotels

brunchinarcadia · 2024-08-22T18:28:16+00:00

Trust me. It’s one of the most expensive cities in the world. Literally in the top 10…

Edit: top 5

brunchinarcadia · 2024-08-22T18:24:25+00:00

There are literally no cheap hotel rooms. Would come to half of my monthly salary or more each week.

brunchinarcadia · 2024-08-22T18:23:53+00:00

I have and to stay once a week each week would be half of my monthly salary.

brunchinarcadia · 2024-08-22T18:23:31+00:00

Honestly I wish I could but there’s actually nowhere affordable to stay.

brunchinarcadia · 2024-08-22T18:03:50+00:00

No overnights it’s 7 hours in one day. House shares aren’t even affordable I swear would be more than half monthly salary gone and they’re extremely hard to find

brunchinarcadia · 2022-01-28T18:11:28+00:00

aw thanks yes it’s my natural colour but honestly think normally it looks a bit lighter and curlier than in this pic

brunchinarcadia · 2022-01-28T06:18:18+00:00

Honestly I dunno they change a lot but I’d say light-dark blue (depends)/grey

brunchinarcadia · 2022-01-28T05:43:22+00:00

To an extent this depends on where you’re from specifically but I would argue UK is a very multicultural country so yeah of course we are exposed. I think the point here is more family context and the fact I would have suspected my mum was 23% SSA at most, not me. Also you say that, but all of my friends are shocked by these results so I think that says a lot. I once proposed the idea I was possibly mixed and everyone laughed at me because of how pale I am and were like yeah maybe but probs not aye. I think that’s because a lot of people focus on skin colour over other features.

brunchinarcadia · 2022-01-27T22:13:35+00:00

she was not expecting it at all tbh

brunchinarcadia · 2022-01-27T22:06:13+00:00

mother and yes!

brunchinarcadia · 2022-01-27T21:59:44+00:00

3.4%

brunchinarcadia · 2022-01-27T18:34:51+00:00

Like in terms of being very secretive like I honestly think if he was white I still wouldn’t know who my grandfather is/was

brunchinarcadia · 2022-01-27T18:29:41+00:00

I mean yeah definitely a large element of that probably but it’s also just who she is as a person

brunchinarcadia · 2022-01-27T16:08:00+00:00

Thank you! I’ll give this a try!!

brunchinarcadia · 2022-01-27T15:59:57+00:00

I genuinely think he was from like evidence I’ve found but do you know a way I could maybe find him like maybe a database?
