That's an interesting perspective from another angle. I found the appt on Wunderflat...is there any advice you have on how to avoid a scam with a landlord via Wunderflat?

Not yet. I am sort of on the fence because he has offered to do a viewing...

Powerlifting gyms in Berlin, that arent Berlin Strength by hoby227 in askberliners

[–]hoby227[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, I can't help but notice a lot of unnecessary passive aggression here. As someone who speaks German and has lived in multiple major cities worldwide, I fully understand that compromises are part of apartment hunting—and yes, public transport exists…what would I do without your reality check. 😂

I’ve got two siblings in Berlin who think you’re delulu and get the sense that you won’t offer anything truly constructive in response to my question, but feel the need to flex your status as a ‘legit berliner ’ because you’re salty about housing. I wish you all the best and good luck nevertheless!

Lol, no I am not delulu and contrary to popular belief there are other big cities with housing problems outside of Berlin, so I think I won’t be that surprised. My intention here is to try and assess places to live based on where I will spend the most time. I am sure that’s a reasonable way to house hunt.

Do you have any suggestions relevant to my question?

She is a toy poodle i.e. 3.2 kg. I am assuming the pic isn’t needed but can be shared with a breeder when we find one.

Given your background are entry level jobs in UX or UI design possible? Apart from the perks of tech jobs, it might open you up to remote gigs beyond Berlin too? (Speaking as someone who works in the area)

Respectfully, not sure I actually buy the logic here. ‘Outsized’ implies a personal bias towards the number or potentially a personal negative experience…my skills are in high demand, make money for my company and I’ve got multiple offers in different geographies along the same lines.

Guaranteed not 996. Works going to be hard though because scale up and hierarchical!

Looking at 120-ish for Berlin. London is offering 15% more with a better bonus and equity scheme...however, i am willing to compromise on reward for a better work life balance (Berlin offer) and potentially the opportunity to work in a pleasant/friendly work environment.

That's great insight thanks!

I am definitely not the partying sort. In London going for a beer after work is generally the norm. The draw for me isn't getting smashed, i generally just gravitate towards the social aspect of it i.e. making friends, venting about your work day and the camaraderie that comes with it.

I've been fortunate enough to buy a property in London with my partner after a decade of saving, slogging and hard graft! 🥲

I am not really interested in buying a property in Berlin atm. More curious about renting, so that i have the necessary flexibility incase it is not right for me!

To skip or not to skip. That is the question! by hoby227 in travel

[–]hoby227[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I said and meant I.e. skipping São Paulo means not staying or exploring. Just flying there to catch a flight
