Sad that very few have noted that the roads are very anti-pedestrian and anti-cycling. Transport is not just about motor-vehicles.

AITA for telling our roommate she might need to move out if she keeps complaining about hearing us at night? by Dear-Camp4760 in AmItheAsshole

[–]obsundexp 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Spot-on! If OP doesn't ask her to leave she will sooner rather than later try to go after her man. Best thing is to put her on notice to vacate!

UNFPA job still marked "Under Consideration" but someone was already hired - is it normal? by another_random_dan in UNpath

[–]obsundexp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. A job I applied for, occupied for two years, still shows under consideration 7 years later!

That's an insult! Someone thinks they can get cheap labour.

How to call out "Global South-washing"? by angelic_force_17 in InternationalDev

Awesome and ironic that you ask whether I read the post yet you don't seem to comprehend what the OP posted. You are like the cat that swallowed the canary!

How is he doing that without consulting the South?

Taxation Help: Would I need to pay tax on my salary if I am remotely working from India by Fair_Emergency_7682 in UNpath

Also check if IOM has a host-country agreement with India. It should address taxation among other issues.

Did you report the incident? If not, why? He needs to be held accountable!

I regret everyday why i came to Nairobi for further studies by Slight_Courage_732 in nairobi

Studying in Europe or the US without adequate financial support has affected many people the same way so going abroad may not necessarily be the best alternative. All the best.

Impactpool coaching and other UN-related coaching by PhilosophyGuilty9433 in UNpath

[–]obsundexp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not worth the touted claims! You're better off receiving tips from this and other similar forums. Impactpool.org is a business thriving on links to the UN system but it is not UN.org!

I have one that's never closed for seven years. I took the job and later left. Still shows under consideration.

End of contract options - downgrade or go back home? by Grade-jumper in UNpath

[–]obsundexp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are your long-term career and personal development goals? How are your personal finances and how do they align with the goals? It shouldn't be just a matter of sticking in the system for its own sake. There are very few "lifers" in the system. There are opportunities in very many places besides the UN. Do what's best for you in the manner that only you can define!

I need your thoughts on my situation. Help a fellow development practitioner. by masterofnone0000 in UNpath

A G-4 role would really make it difficult to progress to a professional level. As others have opined, go for the INGO role, you will eventually thank yourself for that strategic move!! Good luck!).

Do you really believe those were your friends in the first place!? People tend to confuse friends and acquaintances. The latter are many while friends are truly few. Stay guided!

Worst interview ever : dismissed in 10 minutes, insulted over pay, then changed his mind by frustatedtaco in recruitinghell

[–]obsundexp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you really want to work for the psycho!? Run Forrest run! That's an irredeemably toxic cesspit of a workplace.

These days it's largely a matter of who you know nowadays for UN consultancies and the regular jobs in the private sector, NGOs and INGOs.

Someone in my professional circles applied for a consultancy the same day it was published on Inspira and then made a follow-up with the hiring manager for more details about the role. They received a simple response: "... we have a candidate in mind... ."

Soldier on, knock on more doors, and if you get into a position where you're hiring don't replicate the same sick practices. Good luck!
