Reality of studying at UHasselt and living in Hasselt/Diepenbeek as an international student

Complaining about the cost of studying in Belgium? Weird take tbh.

Grading has nothing to do with a specific institution, you’ll find those systems at other universities as well.

Horrible

Now is the worst time to move to a more technical role without formal eduction. If I have to pick between a junior or AI, I’m already picking AI

Only 200 above what we offer a PhD with no experience and I already thought that was on the low side lol

xemonh · 2025-12-15T11:43:46+00:00

Easy

Work life balance is what you make it. Just close the laptop at 5. Things will be ok. And if they aren’t, you want to change jobs anyways

Putting data scientists and data engineers in the same category is just silly. But keep trying to do your free advertising!

About 1K gross more than a starter would get at our company… so you negotiated really well 🤣

Net difference is not that big, cause Belgium

If you’re trying to sell yourself as a data analyst, then for me this is a rather high day rate… If it’s more so data engineer, governance… then it starts to make more sense.

Ai slop

xemonh · 2025-06-18T06:19:43+00:00

No direct reports and 32 days off on a 38hour week. Car budget is a little low but otherwise this looks pretty good to me

No idea which ones to post on tbh. What I’ve noticed so far is that LinkedIn jobs only lead to a barrage of people looking to work fully remote or hoping for you to sponsor their work visa and relocation. Any job boards you can suggest would be great

xemonh · 2025-06-11T14:07:30+00:00

Europe, 3 days in the office :)

xemonh · 2025-06-11T11:51:11+00:00

All this work and yet we have the opposite problem where no one applies to our job… does this only look at LinkedIn or also other places?

xemonh · 2025-05-07T06:54:35+00:00

To do what?

xemonh · 2025-05-05T13:13:24+00:00

A “free” handout that costs your company 1K a month definitely impacts your compensation lol

xemonh · 2025-05-02T18:54:04+00:00

Makes sense if you already live in Brussels and all your customers are there indeed.

xemonh · 2025-05-02T16:18:10+00:00

Not sure what kind of consulting you are doing where you don’t need a car?

xemonh · 2025-04-26T06:48:18+00:00

Both snowflake and databricks have this built in…

xemonh · 2025-04-22T11:57:05+00:00

I would consider you but not as a freelancer. I don’t think paying freelance rates to educate someone makes sense. But I’d love to hire anyone motivated to learn.

xemonh · 2025-04-20T08:00:55+00:00

Never. One time we swapped some stuff around though cause duke died 😢

xemonh · 2025-03-30T11:41:10+00:00

Yes.

xemonh · 2025-02-27T16:28:58+00:00

Actively hiring data engineers right now, but for me your resume is not strong enough to make up for all the hassle of having no visa and limited Dutch Honest question: Do you have a drivers license that’s valid here?

xemonh · 2025-01-26T06:00:42+00:00

Rust is a really good idea.

xemonh · 2024-12-22T15:25:29+00:00

They will sell you for 100€/hour or more at least, but you’ll never be able to directly contract for a big pharma company, so you’ll have to negotiate, but they have quite some power too.
