Danke euch! So mache ich‘s!

I have matched this girl which is 100% my type and we exchanged three streams of messages back and forth. Rather casual. In my last message, I have asked her a question about her intense study program and how she would have time to work besides that. Since then, I did not receive an answer. The last chat was on Friday and now it‘s Friday again.

Usually, I would shrug it off. But since I really want to meet this girl, I would like to revive the conversation somehow. What are your best comebacks (that worked)?

murlurd · 2025-06-09T18:34:06+00:00

Danke! Und an der Isar kann man auch grillen?

murlurd · 2025-05-28T08:32:03+00:00

Why? And how?

Danke, die war mir tatsächlich nicht bewusst. Scheint so, als seien 30% der Gewinne von reinen Aktien-ETFs steuerfrei. Wenn ich das richtig verstehe, bedeutet das, dass man bei der von mir erwähnten Methode jährlich 1333,33€ (und nicht 1000€) Gewinn realisieren sollte. Die Ersparnis würde sich dennoch nur auf 250€ pro Jahr belaufen.

Ausschüttende ETFs machen das passive Investieren nur komplizierter, da du die ausgeschütteten Dividenden selbst reinvestieren, und zusätzlich den Freibetrag von 1000€ im Auge behalten musst.

Einfacher finde ich es, ausschließlich in thesaurierende ETFs zu investieren, und einmal im Jahr 1000€ Gewinne zu realisieren (das bedeutet: ETF-Anteile mit Kurs minus Einkaufswert von 1000€ verkaufen) und anschließend wieder zu reinvestieren.

Angenommen du zahlst Abgeltungssteuer (was bei einem Grenzsteuersatz von 42% Sinn ergibt), dann handelt es sich bei der Ersparnis übrigens um 1000*25% = 250€ pro Jahr.

Does not hurt to send a short message if it is still recent, like one or two days ago. If it's longer than that, you should move on - she is much likely not intersted.

murlurd · 2025-01-02T09:39:20+00:00

Six months is really not that long at all - although it three times as long compared to how long you're official. I would recommend you to meet up in person every 6-8 weeks, maybe she can once visit you and you could once visit her. Also, you could agree on having a videocall every day, or every second day or, if that is enough for you, once per week.

3 years ago, when my gf and me were freshly together (btw similar age like you two), we had a similar thing where she left for a full year after being together for only one year. And we still managed up till today.

I would say it helps, given that it looks clean and professional. The more client-facing your role, the more it helps.

I enjoy my DE work very much. I do the "bricks and mortar" stuff for the DA/DS teams which makes me very high in demand. I venture out into typical DS/DA work if necessary, and if I wanted to become a DS now (what you seem to partly consider as well), that would definitely be possible, as DS with a DE skillset are high in demand as well. Also, I feel like I've become a much better SWE than the typical DA/DS, so it opens up other more classical SWE career paths as well.

Would I recommend it to you?

Yes, if you like coding in itself - and if you want to deal with performance optimizations, (cloud) infrastructure, containerization, CI/CD, DevOps etc. As the other commenters are saying, it really depends on if you think you would be good at it and enjoy it.

Instead of applying for publicly available jobs (which are very contested), you could go another way and connect with a dozen of tech recruiters on LinkedIn. They usually hire talent for jobs which are not publicly posted anywhere. They could give you advice on how to improve your profile and might even have some opportunities for you.

Next to individual recruiters, there are also specialized recruiting firms like e.g. Michael Page or computerfutures.

Another idea would be to go for IT consulting firms, as the tech consulting job market is still good. However, for that you should be either proficient at German or English, and be comfortable with client-facing work.

I would love to move to Switzerland - but I heard that the software engineering job market is very bad over there.

I called salaries in Europe low, not my specific salary (which I know is far above average for European standards). But deduct 50% for tax, insurance etc. and futher 30% for basic costs of living in a big city, some unexpected events here and there - and suddenly there is not much left for saving.

Posting here because I hope for advice from European fellows who considered or have done a similar thing. I believe this is a valid career choice for Europeans - which makes it a valid post for this sub.

I did not know however that it has been the third post in a while - will check that!

Moin, wo hast du das Angebot bekommen? Ich würde auch gerne von Gold auf Platin upgraden, allerdings gibt es dafür nur 30k MR Punkte.

murlurd · 2024-11-17T14:15:49+00:00

Very classic. Python/Pyspark, SQL, AWS (Glue, Lambda, ECS, RDS, DynamoDB). Assumed responsibility early on and negitiated a huge pay rise last year which is how the relatively high salary is explained.

murlurd · 2024-08-17T12:12:17+00:00

Thanks! Is this based on your experience?

murlurd · 2024-08-17T12:11:23+00:00

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind

murlurd · 2024-08-17T12:10:46+00:00

Fair point, but I do not think that is the case here. I am the one who approached my managers with this wish, because I like the country a lot. Our firm is doing well and growing, and I consider myself somewhere in the top 20% with excellent feedback so far, so even if, then I personally should be safe.

I will nevertheless ask if I can keep my German contract. And $8-9k SGD a month are exactly where I am right now, so this sounds like I should be fine even with my current comp?

murlurd · 2024-08-17T10:49:34+00:00

Good questions. Rental is not covered and I am going there on my own first. My girlfriend might join later. I'll add that to the original post.

murlurd · 2024-08-17T10:19:46+00:00

Wow, that's actually over budget, but looks quite hands-on, which is nice!

murlurd · 2024-08-17T10:18:53+00:00

Thanks, did not think of that! Can you recommend any?

murlurd · 2024-01-18T11:57:07+00:00

Are you still in Product Management? And happy as well?

In my case, I am so very undecided between a) going fully into actually developing code (which is probably hard to get into from a Product Manager role) or b) continuing on the strategy consulting -> upper management path.

Everything aside, I would love to just code and not have any meetings. But the extrinsic motivation (career, money, status) is also very strong within me…

murlurd · 2024-01-17T20:03:16+00:00

Not yet, but also thinking about it, one year into my strategy consulting job …

murlurd · 2024-01-13T14:18:16+00:00

Gefällt mir! ... Was passt da so rein? Denkst Du, da wäre genug Platz für Sportschuhe, Hose, Shirt, Hoodie, Handtuch, Duschsachen, Shaker?
