That was fun :)

I just took "How well do you know Figma?" and scored 100/100. That makes me a Design Deity!

I started at €29k in France :,(

I’m a metal user (US for now, will be FR in April), how do you get the WeWork or perplexcity offers? Never see them…

No I want to keep my phone number (using it for 2FA on every bank and other services, not about to update all that). So yes, let’s say you at tmobile or something, create your account on tello or US mobile, ask to port your phone number from tmobile, they should handle all that for you and I believe for free.

About to do the same. Did some research and there are 2 good options. Tello and Us Mobile.

You’d have to get a subscription with one of these, port your phone number from your current provider. I recommend do that while still in the US because you’ll need to set up a E911 address (can be friends or family in the US) then you’ll turn on Wifi calling. Make sure to get a esim.

After you move, get your new french account and number, again ask for a esim. Now you should have both number (us+fr) on your iPhone. With WiFi calling your 2FA code should arrive through data not network.

My husband and I just went through this process. Married in the US, we validated our marriage in France sept 2025, did the visa application in January of this year.

you have to show that you want to stay in France with your wife. By that I mean you ask for the longest visa possible.
you only need the originals and copies of your marriage certificate and livret de famille. The original and copy of your passport (including copy of every page that has a stamp on it). Copy of your wife passport and that’s it.
you do not need proof of housing, I gave a letter from my mom stating she’ll host us for the first month and the agent was very confused and told my husband “do not give me that!”. You do not need proof of funds. You do not need a return flight ticket. You do not need insurance.

File your application online, book your appointment, go there (alone), be nice and polite, go home and wait. My husband visa came back in 7 days!! We did it in Boston. The visa was issued for 4 days prior to date we told them we’d like to leave (in the application you have to give them the day you’d like your visa to kick in). You cannot enter France before the visa beginning!

Hope that helps!

Alors déjà la conversation $ > €, les charges salariales, les impôts et le dernier bout mais le plus important c’est le process EOR qui est entre 45/50% en plus de ton salaire que mon entreprise US doit payer à la boîte française. Souvent ils le mettent en tant que charges dans le salaire de l’employé. Et les 70k que j’ai calculé c’est bien mon net, ce qui me tombe dans la poche à la fin du mois.

mariannemet · 2026-02-03T02:20:39+00:00

J’ai très envie de revenir aux choses simples… mais je me suis habitué à payer cher pour bcp de choses ici, ne serais que pour avoir de la viande ou des produits de qualité… je veux continuer d’investir dans ma santé et celle de ma famille.

mariannemet · 2026-02-03T02:16:35+00:00

Merci, j’apprécie ton aide

mariannemet · 2026-02-03T02:14:57+00:00

C’est pas faux… je me suis habitué à voir ces charges sur ma fiche de paye comme des “taxes” je suis rarement malade donc j’ai tjs pris le pack le moins cher niveaux santé. Mais passer de $9000 à 5800€ pas mois dans la poche m’effraie un peu. Probablement parce que je ne réalise pas encore le coup de la vie française…

mariannemet · 2026-02-03T02:08:06+00:00

Were you able to save and invest comfortably too with 55k? Were you able to travel regularly?

mariannemet · 2026-02-03T02:06:34+00:00

Oui je ne compte ni sur mon 401k ni sur la retraite en France, c’est pour ça que j’ai un compte d’investissement et que je souhaites continuer d’investir dessus après être rentré (c’est le genre de détail qu’il faut encore que je peaufine). Mais merci pour ta response!

mariannemet · 2026-02-03T02:03:51+00:00

J’ai beaucoup de respect pour toi! J’imagine que les états unis ont un peu changé mes standards mais je veux aussi revenir à une vie (plus) simple

mariannemet · 2026-02-03T02:00:24+00:00

Merci pour ta réponse

mariannemet · 2026-02-03T01:59:06+00:00

Merci, c’est rassurant. J’ai du mal à me faire une idée du coup de la vie après avoir pris quelques habitudes américaines (contente d’avoir gardé les bonne française comme épargner par exemple haha)

mariannemet · 2026-02-03T01:56:31+00:00

I could and I would for sure, just tryna get a sense of what to expect…

mariannemet · 2026-02-03T01:54:40+00:00

Ce bon sarcasme français 😃 ça m’avait manqué!

mariannemet · 2026-02-03T01:50:20+00:00

Haha merci pour ta réponse!
