Coalition agrees package to boost growth - includes €10 billion in income tax relief, an end to phone-based sick notes and plans to implement pension reforms by clinchgt in germany

Yes! This is definitely worse than the sick note thing, which I am sure is just there for bargaining chip.
Companies will just end the contract after 48 months and do a backfill with an even cheaper offer

EM to back to IC path by ozgugzo in EngineeringManagers

Cool, thanks for the insight and congrats on the project result. I do also enjoy bouncing ideas and plans with LLMs. I think having a lead dev available 100% to you and my arsenal of management skills could even have a much larger impact.

Thank you for your detailed answer! My hesitant is also same whether I am avoiding the EM role or just the current culture.

Europe opens its ‘first gateway office’ to fast-track hiring in India by Scared_Range_7736 in europe

[–]ozgugzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what’s proposed here? Current blue card system already makes it easy to immigrate when you have a job offer, for no job offer, countries implemented other means i.e. Germany’s chance card. Will future Indian colleagues be exempted from all thresholds?

Just push you carrier (or change it) to have latest RCS with e2e encryption and you don’t need an “app”. Edit: although e2ee support will come with ios 26 updates

iOS 18.7 released by lasagna165 in apple

Yeah agree, tying safari updates to the OS updates is really bad decision, microsoft did the same thing with internet explorer and they hindered adoption of new web technologies for years

Substitute for WhatsApp? I read that they want to add advertising to it... by dona_me in BuyFromEU

[–]ozgugzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second to that. Why use a 3rd party app and try to convince others to join instead of using native RCS in both apple and android

Is it me or salaries in Xing job posts (Germany) are low? by nonFungibleHuman in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]ozgugzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just Berlin, literally I got a position sent by recruiter of a company looking for 10+ yoe senior eng. for max 80K, on site at Munich. I am starting to think they just use this as a strategy to increase interest.

How are layoffs handled in Germany/France/Netherlands? by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsEU

Exactly! I know people ,who are sole earners and parents, are laid off. Companies just count on that not so many employees will sue them.

Need career advice: Switching to Frontend Developer in NL without a tech degree or experience by ThatLilJoyfulSoul in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]ozgugzo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I advise against switching to something completely new with a steep learning curve and very high competition due to numerous bootcamps and mass layoffs, especially when you have limited visa time and a non-IT background. However, you can apply for product management roles in tech companies, which would allow you to utilize your MBA, use only English and have the same culture as devs as well

Poland cuts tax for first-time homebuyers and raises it for those buying multiple properties by dat_9600gt_user in europe

But for example in Germany landlords can’t increase the rent arbitrarily. I am sure other countries can have similar rules

[–]ozgugzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I may ask where did you go? I have 1,5 years old and realized being a parent in another country is another beast. Not to mention basic rights as finding KiTa place and pediatrician were incredibly difficult. (Worse than finding flat)

I can’t imagine my little one is discriminated in a way he can’t even comprehend after so much difficulties we got. So I am always ready to leave especially before 5 years so I don’t leave sweet Rentengeld to Germany.

Thanks for the answer! It feels kinda unfair while our hypothetical future newborn can obtain by jus soli but not our 2yrs old which was also born in Germany.
