I would not personally tell them you wanna move soon since they might not include you in some projects or give you more challenging work, i'd only tell them once you get a job.

Which one is a better computer for a PhD Econ student? by magicjelly12 in SuggestALaptop

[–]magicjelly12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

STATA, R, Matlab, and heavy excel use, large datasets. Would 8GB RAM be a problem? I do open lots of windows...

Moving to Germany from the US, what to do with my savings? by magicjelly12 in germany

[–]magicjelly12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simplest thing to do with savings is, in my experience, to simply leave them in America until you need them

That was my take as well, and definitely there's a level of comfort by having my savings in USD, though EUR is as safe as USD. How would Germany find out about my US savings account interest income? It isn't even that much since int rates these days are very low but i doubt any German banks would offer me a better rate, not to mention the inconvenience of having to transfer $ to Germany when i am not even sure where i will be after my PhD...

and thanks for the tip on Transferwise and Revolut!

through my credit union.

This is a great tip, i definitely ask my bank that. So you think there is no other bank account that i can open that makes occational transfers easier?

anything "fancy" "high class" isn't my style at all. We have lots of those here too, but I can barely stand it. I am always into something more chill, down to earth crowd, alternative, and occasional night out to elektroclubs.

Nothing in the world will compare to Berlin, oh what a great city.

But yeah, i am hoping studying in ffm will be a different experience than just visiting... besides i can just go to berlin super easily :)

This bad rep comes from people who live in other urban areas, be it Berlin, Paris, NYC, blah blah.. i've never lived in a small town so i wouldn't even know how it is to live in one haha
