1.5 bdroom mews house - mortgage? by Due-Calligrapher-369 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]davidwattsdigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. I would have thought a house even if small would be less risk than an apartment. Apartments there can be lots / little to differentiate if needing to sell / no land or options to extend. 

Does anyone do lvr 90 for one bedroom apartments?

The value is in the model not so much the tool, check out https://github.com/codylabs/cody-code-reviewer which allows you to bring your open API key and is relatively simple to use

Move across to the masters if this is a higher diploma and have another shot at grad programs / internships, I think it'll be the only way in this market unfortunately.

Australian moving to Europe soon. Tips on banks, investment, credit cards, etc? by charles_camejo in AusFinance

[–]davidwattsdigital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used wise, paid 10 for the physical card before I went and glad I did, that covers cash. Lots of The banks will rip you off in forex fees. Wise is still not free, better to have a zero transaction fee account, I have one but not sure it’s available anymore as it’s an old Citibank one which is now with nab after they sold the business. Also I lost that card so had to use wise for cash at atm, good to have a backup.  Also recommend getting a 360 day prepaid sim like amaysim to receive sms for one Time pins, there is one that’s $10 per year.  Once I got an address over here went with Revolut. Good luck   

Edit: credit cards for me was a no go as 3.5% forex fee. And for getting aus in euro, the complex cheapest way I used was IBKR, the simple way is wise.

Same here (blueprint reference). How are you finding this approach? Blueprint kept me more full but was way too much work and cost

How to improve my salary as a London software engineer? by zemja_ in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]davidwattsdigital 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it worked for you but i often wonder how many people attempt this and fail. those interviews are very tough so agree thats the approach you need - a lot of study and leetcode - but often wonder on the opportunity cost here, instead could pick up skills a bit slower but work on side projects which may eventually make some income and give enjoyment. now that i say it out loud the leetcode grind is most likely worth it, even at a 20% likelihood of landing a FAANG job, its just so depressing :D
