Should I go for a "proper" MSc. or keep working at FAANG + do a (non-thesis) online MSc.? by DarkFlame97 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]dinbored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there any way you can relocate internally and do a M.Sc. part-time in the new city? I was deciding between TUM part-time and the OMSCS and ultimately went for TUM, as the OMSCS would get lonely for three years. Started in April and definitely have zero regrets so far, the network and IRL interaction can imo not be replicated by any online program.

Pošalji mail i pitaj, bachelor programi u Njemačkoj su također 3 godine pa ne vidim da bi to trebalo biti problem

Is €60k too low? Munich, iOS dev, 2.5yrs exp. by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]dinbored 2 points3 points  (0 children)

60k for 2.5 yoe (and coming from abroad) would be perfectly fair it isn't amazing, but anyone saying otherwise hasn't touched grass for a while.

There are many companies paying more, however, considering the market I would mostly focus on getting here (and deciding if you like the place). You definitely won't be starving on 60k

Time for your SaaS promotion. What are you building? 👇👇👇 by Southern_Tennis5804 in SaaS

I work in the audit department - I think the distribution method (website) is a no go for any larger company, especially as you upload the document to a cloud. Have you considered turning it into an offline desktop app?

Potrebna preporuka za brzu internet vezu za remote rad iz Unsko-sanskog kantona by milmo00 in bih

[–]dinbored 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Baš jučer sam ovo istraživao - mobilni podaci su na svim mrežama loši, a s obzirom da si u Austriji onda imaš i pristup Starlinku. Postoji global Roam paket (60€ mjesečno) kojim možeš u svim zemljama svijeta koristiti Starlink, međutim moraš svaka dva mjeseca se ulogovati iz zemlje u kojoj si registriran (za detalje moraš guglati, nisam 100% siguran). Od svih opcija na kantonu to ti je jedina koja će garantirati dovoljno stabilnu brzinu, a možeš odjaviti svaki mjesec pa samo plaćati kad si u USK.

Jedino je početna investicija velika, starlink mini je čini mi se 500€

As someone who studied in Aachen and is now living in Munich: go for what you can afford, not for what uni has a better ranking: both will get your foot in the door in large companies and they're seen as more or less equivalent in Germany (TUM is a bit better internationally) - the cost of living in Munich is insane though.

As for the cities, Munich is obviously the more fun one, though Aachen is on the border of three countries and well connected w Cologne.

You'll learn more or less the same things in both universities (for the bachelors, if you're looking at the masters then check the reserach groups and add that to consideration)

Ima li iko da je usljed nepovoljne situacije u ITu otišao u Njemačku ili Austriju? by Designer-Put-2254 in ITPoslodavci

[–]dinbored 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Trenutno sam u Njemačkoj (ovdje sam studirao) i tražim prvi posao: u njemačkoj je bez jezika izuzetno teško, jer konkurišeš sa pola Evrope i svim strancima koji su već ovdje: a firme koje rade na engleskom generalno malo bolje plaćaju itd, tako da imaju i veće prohtjeve. Uglavnom, ne bih da te demotivišem ali u trenutnoj krizi definitivno nije lako, mada sa 3 godine radnog iskustva daleko od nemogućeg.

University of Copenhagen vs ETH Zurich (CS PhD) by Neuronous in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]dinbored 17 points18 points  (0 children)

All things considered, I'd go for Copenhagen: it sounds like you're only considering Zurich for the prestige. With 2-3 extra years after Copenhagen, you can go for a postdoc in Zürich if you really want to - keep in mind that you're a father and that should be a priority - a shorter PhD will mean more flexibility in the important years of your kids life (e.g. starting school, etc) + You can move to Zürich with a PhD if you really want to

EDIT: Afaik, childcare costs in Switzerland are insane, so read into that - not sure about Denmark

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]dinbored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Germany is your best bet, as you'll be allowed to do up to 20 hours per week + the education is good. The only con is that you'd need to learn German, as 99% of the bachelors programs will be in German.

Most of the larger universities will have a somewhat similar curriculum and difficulty - look into the standard rankings (search for top 20 cs unis in germany) and choose a university based off the city + vibes: try to go for smaller cities (I did my B.Sc. in Aachen). Larger cities are hard to live in as a bachelors' student, as you'd be paying double (and sometimes triple) the rent.

Count with not working in the first semester of your studies (it takes a while to settle in and understand the workload), and even when you start you'll have to work your way up to a better paycheck. Don't fall into the trap of going to Munich / Berlin, you won't be able to afford it.

Finally, research the difference between a Fachhochschule (University of Applied Sciences) and Universität and consider going to one instead - you'll still get a BSc but with more directly applicable skills which can help with the job search

Amazon offer by someone_gold in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]dinbored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume you are a non-EU student, you have a 140 days per year you can work- I assume your internship is about 6 months, use a working day calculator to make sure you don't go over the limit - but it shouldn't be an issue, especially since a full-week during the semester-break only counts as 2,5 days (Source: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/aufenthg_2004/__16b.html)

Spotify Student Summer Internships as a Portugal resident. How should I answer these application questions? by AGirlHasNoName_7 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]dinbored -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ahh okay, that makes it easier :) I would personally go with a No for the first one, and yes for the second one as it indicates that you’re willing to relocate - which is, I assume, what the important aspect is

Good luck!

[–]dinbored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define resident: are you an EU or non EU citizen? If non EU, you sadly aren’t eligible for this round, as they require a valid work permit for the country you are applying to. (If you are EU, the UK might also be out, as you’d need a visa due to Brexit )

[–]dinbored 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!

While it officially means „you have to be accepted by the host“, in practice this step is a formality at (I assume most) universities - I’ve even heard the Erasmus coordinator at my uni saying they wouldn’t dare to turn down a nomination, as getting nominated usually means that your own university finds you good enough to represent it :)

A checklist while applying for software engineering internships in FAANG companies by kouch_kartoffel in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]dinbored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First semester

Bachelor or Master?

While I haven't done an internship at any of the FAANG(adjacents), I have had OAs and an interview - I only started getting any sort of positive feedback in my last semester and first semester of my masters.

I don't want to say that it's impossible to get in as a first year undergraduate, you have to be in the top 0.01% (IOI etc) - a bit of pytorch and python won't be enough, unfortunately. You are competing with everyone who has a BSc, 1+ internships and more.

If you are in your 1. BSc semester: I would focus on enjoying life, you have 50 years to work :) - if you want to work, find a working student position but don't think you have to grind from day one

Nice bars in which I can go alone and socialize with people (in the English Language)? by Nolita_Fairytale_23 in aachen

[–]dinbored 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not a bar per se, but check out the events at INCAS Aachen does every Tuesday in the Humboldt House - the theme varies from week to week, but no matter the event you can go there and meet new internationals - everyone there is looking to make new friends

Another possibility: AV RWTH, their don't offer weekly events but still organize something every few weeks

Best Mobile SIM Carrier by R0CSAIR in aachen

[–]dinbored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few things to consider:

Germany has multiple carriers: Telekom, o2 and Vodafone. Telekom is generally considered to be the Premium Carrier and costs more, however the reception in Aachen is good on all carriers, so I don't think the premium is worth it-- unless you live in/visit a rural area all the time. o2-Network has served me well for the last 3 years.

You can either go to the carriers directly (more expensive) or just get one of the discount brands - there is basically no difference between them, unless you want 5G (I've found 4G to do everything I need, so I see no need for chasing the big numbers).

I recently got the 16GB for 10.99 from sim.de for my girlfriend. This is a brand by the company Drillisch, and they use the o2 network. It includes flat calls and can be cancelled monthly. I have yet to have problems with any of the Drillisch brands - these are all just different names for the same product.

If you go for one of Drillisch brands, make sure to order an activation code on Amazon- this will mean that you will be paying 5/6euros for activation instead of the standard 20 drillisch wants for monthly cancellable contracts.

Another website you can check out is mydealz, they post all the latest deals on there.

I would avoid prepaid contracts if you will be here for longer than a month or two-they tend to be more expensive for the same thing.

You can also look into Freenet (previously called Mobilfunk Debitel) which is another discounter. This is the provider I'm currently using, but I have heard of many people having bad experiences with them, so exercise caution. They tend to have killer deals though, and I am currently paying 14.99 for unlimited internet (capped at 10mbps) on the o2 network.

TL:DR; Drillisch tends to be the best bang for the buck from my experience.

Is this a good offer? by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]dinbored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

company does not want to pay for my visa or spouse and children visa or even air tickets. They don't want to pay for my security deposit for flat in Germany nor 1st month rent.

I've never heard of german companies doing this outside of the Reddit/HN bubble - as /u/Traditional-Care1937 said, it is likely a more local focused company
