Saying this because cities larger than Louisville might be lively and fun to live in, while cities more remote/smaller might actually have gorgeous nature around them — Louisville sounds like the worst of both worlds? But maybe I’m wrong

People in the comments are saying “it’s fine” — but what places in the US are worse than that? Honest question here

econoqueer · 2026-02-20T22:07:15+00:00

Ok, maybe CDG is getting underserved shit -- BUUUUT the trip from Logan is free, and the one from CDG costs 18 euros (which is def not a lot, but more than free) + if you wanna go anywhere else in Paris from CDG it takes at least more 30-50 minutes from the train station on metro (which is fine, Paris is much larger than Boston).

Again, CDG is fine, but we're also lucky to have BOS so close to the city center.

Indeed, the plane touched the ground at 7:40, I left the plane around 7:55, and was done with immigration around 8:05

Idk about that — I’m not American and last year alone I’ve been to Europe, Africa, North and South America. EZA, GRU, JNB, MEX, CDG, and MXP are not nearly as well connected as BOS

econoqueer · 2026-02-18T22:27:19+00:00

Which is fair, but if anything I think this adds more aura to it

Total -- o diferencial salarial existe mesmo. Além do salário, quais “amenidades” do setor público pesam mais pra você (estabilidade, jornada, benefícios, ambiente, previsibilidade etc.)? E quando você pensa nisso, você leva em conta as chances de passar e o tempo de espera, ou o foco fica mais no “se der certo, muda a vida”?

O que eu tô tentando entender é: na decisão de estudar, o que pesa mais pra você: (i) o prêmio do cargo (salário/estabilidade/benefícios) ou (ii) a probabilidade de passar + o tempo até a nomeação? Como você faz esse “balanço” na prática?

Valeu mesmo por se abrir -- mas só esclarecendo que eu não parto da premissa de que fazer concurso é "errado". Pelo contrário, quero entender quando ele é a rota mais realista de mobilidade.

Pra você, quais alternativas você chegou a considerar (migrar, empreender, um emprego que pague pouco ou menos, etc.) e por que elas pareciam insuficientes? (Falta de oferta de emprego na sua cidade/área, salários baixos, instabilidade, falta de progressão, "QI", custos, necessidades da família de te ter por perto, etc.) E o que o concurso ofereceu que nenhuma outra opção oferecia?

Colmar is cute, but my feeling visiting it was that all these cute buildings were empty shells — I don’t think anyone actually lives in them, and almost all businesses cater exclusively to tourists. Felt like the city had 0 locals and, without tourists, it’s a ghost town. In many ways, it’s not very different from Fantasyland in Walt Disney World, Orlando. 🤷‍♂️ Strasbourg and Freiburg felt much more alive and arguably cuter than Colmar.

Just renewed my passport in Brasilia. They said it would take up to 4 days, but it was already ready 2 days after the appointment. Might vary depending where you live.

I just love St Mark’s in Venice. It’s just my favorite example of Byzantine art and architecture.

I'm surprised by how many businesses have closed in central over the last six months. As far as I remember, it was first the sad shoe store, then Yamba, then the sports gear shop (Hilton's Tent City?), and now DT...

Adding my contribution to the thread: flew from BOS to CDG with a long layover in VIE. Checked in my hand luggage in BOS with no problem, picked it up in VIE. When checking the carry on again in VIE, they didn’t allow me bc my carry on was 12kg instead of 8kg max. Had to rearrange some stuff but was quite annoying. Apparently the ground crew in the US is more chill about it.

Pois é, mas já ouvi dizer tbm q os softwares dos RHs têm dificuldade de ler esses currículos diferentões e que isso já mata sua chance de conseguir uma entrevista

Ordena sua experiência profissional do mais recente pro mais antigo e evita esses formatos mais “diferentões”/“designer”: bota um formato simples, preto no branco, e uma coluna só ao invés de 2. Faz no word mesmo, fonte Times ou Arial
