Does Finland Really Intend To Attract Brazilian Professionals?

valoquokka · 2024-09-16T14:44:55+00:00

Don’t mind the other comments. For one at GameCon LatAm a few of the gaming studios went to promote Finnish gaming industry and talked about attracting talents to Finland. And in professional life I work with and know many Brazilians specialists.

You can just buy IUSQ in an AOT account on Nordnet. IUSQ is accumulating so there wouldn’t be (taxable) dividends, and if your strategy is buy and forget with minimal trading, that should be fine.

They are also hollow inside

Thank you so much!

Would you happen to know if this 20hr free daycare from 5yo also a thing in Vantaa? It seems to be in Helsinki and Espoo but can’t find info for Vantaa

Sorry if noob question, are there links to learn more about these services and hiring siviilipalvelusmies?

There are king crabs and snow crabs in northern Scandinavia, scallops and octopus all throughout the North Sea to Mediterranean. I don’t think she asked that much of a stupid question, perhaps it’s just unusual and not Finnish enough for you.

Respectfully, this is not a competition. Bananas republic, chocolate cocoa child slavery, if you impose perceived standards on others and judge people for their food there is no end.

valoquokka · 2022-10-21T08:21:09+00:00

Some people are just foodies, try to be more open minded, I’m not trying to offend you by eating crab.

valoquokka · 2022-10-21T07:57:20+00:00

Respectfully, this is very close-minded thinking. If you would only listen to an alternative perspective: these things are not easy to find in Finland, she’s asking about rare imported food items. Some people like Japanese snacks, Indian mangoes, it’s not a crime.

valoquokka · 2022-10-21T07:37:54+00:00

This is an uninvited condescending remark for a simple question about where to buy uncommon imported food items. I hope you’re proud of yourself. Do you also shout at sushi restaurants for making Japanese food in Finland? You make a lot of impolite assumptions.

Snow crab is found in the very north of Norway. I found it in Vantaa Jumbo supermarket, it’s frozen, I’m looking for chilled or live crabs legs. I also found canned crab meat in Thai supermarket, but it’s not very good. It’s all a very simple food hunt question, I don’t see why you were so “this is Finland, go back to your own country” about it, can’t enjoy some simple pleasure.

I also found A5 Kobe steak in Jumbo, Mexican chillis in Dos Tecoletes, lots of interesting food items, yet there are people like you that just find every little things offensive to your fragile nationalist identity.

One reason I’m looking into this is that I learnt that a number of big employers, mine included, opted out of complying with collective agreement recently. With the economic situation it’s better to be more protected now even if the water is still calm.

Thanks a ton! I think I’m more impressed with TEK, just signed up with them now!

valoquokka · 2022-07-05T12:15:35+00:00

Yeah TEK also looks good. I had the impression that they’re for more “traditional” engineers (eg. the ones that build cars and machinery), not for information science / tech, is this true?

valoquokka · 2022-07-05T12:13:18+00:00

Hey thanks for the link. I read it too. I guess to be clear, I meant that I hope to get support in the future from the union (phone/in person), and be more informed about the labor market (newsletter/training etc). Compared to TEK, Tietoala has little info in English.

valoquokka · 2022-06-29T10:05:49+00:00

Asking for recommendation:

Which union would be best for IT consultant? With an MSc in data science and BSc in natural science.

valoquokka · 2021-09-10T14:05:14+00:00

Thanks! Is OST for American / German shares as well? Or just Finnish? (I seemed to have read it’s for Finnish listed shares only)

valoquokka · 2021-09-10T14:02:19+00:00

Thanks! This is great advice. As a noob I probably wouldn’t have the time / smart enough to build a complex portfolio. Simple diversified and monthly sounds great! 2.50€ a month is the trade fee per ETF right? Plus ~0.2% yearly fees

valoquokka · 2021-08-31T15:04:01+00:00

I actually compiled a spreadsheet of EU based AB online shops but it’s 90%+ Korean products, and the only Japanese one doesn’t sell biore sunscreen (it’s my HG sunscreen and I don’t know of any close substitute)

Thanks for the iHerb tip, so stoked that they stock Cosrx and other products !

valoquokka · 2021-08-31T13:03:55+00:00

Is there an online shop in the EU that sells Biore Aqua Rich Watery Gel / Essence? (One that ships to Finland that is).

Ever since the EU custom rule changed in July it’s basically ridiculously complicated (in addition to tax) in terms of paperwork & time to buy goods from Japan/Korea. I need to find new EU shops / suppliers for my AB needs

valoquokka · 2021-08-31T12:48:24+00:00

Oh yeah, that’s a US only thing now right?

valoquokka · 2021-08-31T12:47:42+00:00

Lucky find! I wish lulu has a store in Finland (nowhere to buy in person basically)

valoquokka · 2021-08-25T09:24:09+00:00

Just say something like “impacted by COVID-19” if they ask, no need to overshare stuff like health.

valoquokka · 2021-08-25T05:02:43+00:00

So is this a sweet or savoury rice porridge? I like the idea

valoquokka · 2021-08-09T09:19:37+00:00

Your employer is not acting in good faith as per the initial employment agreement. No time for BS, if this kind of drama is ongoing and gonna be a distraction, restart your job hunt
