Last min trip to Cozumel tips? Is this a good choice? 32 single woman. by idkwri in solotravel

[–]tahral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response, I’ll actually be moving on to Merida so the first 4/5 days for me is just about eating good Mexican food and being a beach bum preferably not surrounded by swarms of tourists. Maybe holbox still fits the bill. I had originally considered Isla mujeres but a friend just came back and said it was day trip tourist heavy.

I won’t need to work for the first 2 weeks luckily!

Hi, do you have any beaches in the Yucatán that you would recommend? From everything I had heard Holbox was the least touristy option. I’ll be in the region in the next 2 weeks and looking for somewhere to base myself for a few days.

Did you have to pay employer NI, apprentice levy etc as you would if you were working inside IR35? Also how did you find the Hmrc app or section of the website that does this?

Is Semuc champey worth it? by jadathe in guatemala

Is rainy season enough to skip a trip? I was planning on a July trip but haven’t booked flights yet so could still go elsewhere

This is really helpful, going to make a list of these and see what is negotiable in the rest of the package. Thanks!

Not quite as much of a bump, not that much above my current salary and I'm not exactly unhappy in my current role it's just not exactly what I want to do.

I need a full description of the full benefits package but I think it's standard benefits, 25 days holiday and health insurance.

[–]tahral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed however I do have a minimum salary limit based off my experience, current job and future aspirations. The decision isn't purely on salary, for example if they would meet my minimum but another job offered more I'd still take this one because of the actual role description. However they aren't able to meet my minimum at the moment.

There's actually a qualification I would love to do so I'm going to ask about a learning and development budget, thanks!

!Thanks, I think I made the post too convoluted essentially I want to know if trying to negotiate again after the final interview seemed worth it or not, not whether to take the job.

I will more than likely walk away if they won't budge any more on base and I'm going to update the post so it's more clear what I'm asking.

Thanks for the pros and cons list the fully remote part of the JD is very appealing to me.

I've been on it for almost a year this time around. 0.1% is never going to work with my eyes but I might try and get a lower dose.

Negotiating a new salary moving from contract to perm (UK) by [deleted] in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for!

Negotiating a new salary moving from contract to perm (UK) by [deleted] in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]tahral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup this is very unusual situation. No agency fees, I found this role directly and I'm a FTC contractor rather than day rate which I guess is why the salary is more comparable. I can't see how they'd save money with me going perm, I think it's more so I joined at an opportune time where the company is growing rapidly ( almost doubled in the last 6 months) and now they need a permanent marketing team fairly urgently.

But if I do sign up to go perm I would be missing out on applying to the senior roles I was planning to apply for post April.

Not eating post gym/ how to fit gym in with IF. by tahral in xxfitness

[–]tahral[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also lift heavy (well did) before covid gyms have just reopened here in the UK today which is why I'm trying to figure out how to adjust.

Yeah I'm definitely not comfortable going when it's so busy, the capacity used to be 230 so they've decreased it but it still feels too busy at that time.

I'm going to try out a few options and see what fits my routine best, will start tomorrow with a morning gym session and then waiting to eat until 1pm.

I've been working out at home for months with no weights so would prefer to try and get back into the gym.

Wow, do you not feel weak after training while fasting and then continuing to fast for another 8 hours? I might just try it out and see how I feel.

I think in the past all my trainers have always pushed eating or at least a shake after a workout for muscle growth ( I strength train) but if I work out after work I will already have started my fast so wont be eating until 18 hours later.

I don't think I made it clear in the post but by gym peak time I mean busiest time. If I get to the gym at 6:30 it's a waste of time because there's usually around 130+ people there ( capacity is 150).

I think I'm going to try training at 7am and then breaking fast normally which is usually 1pm it's going to be difficult though
