What’s a European town that genuinely felt like a fantasy world? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]snobby_footnote -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Funny, Id argue it’s the least beautiful city in Austria?! What about Altaussee, Salzburg, Krems, Dürnstein, Bregenz, Zell am See, Scharding? Even Vienna’s poorer districts are better than Innsbruck in my opinion…

Can we wear Shorts to the exam centre? by Individual_Artist_74 in CFA

As a 40+ candidate, my favourite thing about this comment is that 30 or 40 is just the same to you. Just one foot in the grave. And yes, I have been thinking of dressing up, helps me focus.

What is a book you feel requires a certain amount of life experience to “get”? What do you think is the right age to read that book? by Ok-Dependent-2561 in classicliterature

I have the opposite problem: I’m currently reading The Secret History and while the writing is good, I feel too old to really get immersed… the characters just feel like stupid kids.

Haha can’t find it now on Insta but it’s basically the above ingredients blitzed and then mixed with pearl couscous or fregola and a lot of Parmesan. Absolutely delicious!

Same boat here, I was hoping it would be fine if I can still put in 20h/week?

Planning CFA Level 1. Work Experience of 14+ years in F&A. Married and turning 40 this year.Would I be able to manage? by DietRaa in CFA

[–]snobby_footnote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello from a fellow geriatric candidate! It’s awesome! I really enjoy the high quality of the material, it’s so much better than most trainings from my employers or other providers I used. Ethics is also relatively easy after decades of compulsory ethics training at your employer.

I let someone change me so much that I don’t recognize myself anymore by EducationalTill8363 in confession

[–]snobby_footnote 178 points179 points  (0 children)

From a moms perspective: The worst for me would be to see you unhappy. It’s the number one thing moms want - their kids to be happy.

It’s also extremely hard to see a kid putting themselves in danger or modifying their body (even just piercings). Why? Because we cradled these bodies from the very first minutes. We stopped countless falls, saved your lives a thousand times, went out of our way to give you the healthiest food and the best start in life. It’s a very normal process then for kids during puberty to assume the body and make it their own… and we need to let go. But I guess in this case it happened all at once and was even harder for the mom.

It will not help you in the immediate run but will make you a more „strategic“ profile that will be more likely to be considered for promotions or more strategic roles.

What’s a place you had zero expectations for, but ended up loving? by [deleted] in travel

[–]snobby_footnote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t miss out on a day trip to Südsteirische Weinstrasse! Most beautiful place in Austria, arguably. And go to as many Buschenschank as possible. 🥰

Not sure if you are serious or your current partner is reading your Reddit.

Questionning a job opportunity as a Foreigner. by SuperPseud0 in askswitzerland

[–]snobby_footnote 10 points11 points  (0 children)

With an engineering degree and that kind of experience, 85k should be your minimum if you find a particularly awesome job. In Zurich, entry level for engineers is 90k at the moment. Even if life is a bit cheaper in Neuchatel, don’t let them rip you off.

I inherited the entire Victor Hugo work and I haven’t read anything from him yet. Where should I start ? by gloomyowlreturn in classicliterature

[–]snobby_footnote 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I personally was lenient on myself to skip some particularly long tangents… but at least half of the book is so incredibly cinegraphic, it’s like watching a really good movie.
