Teh Official OMG WTF thread.

[DeuX]

Tomorrow and Friday? Seems like torture to give you Tuesday and Friday off, but not the days in between.

It will just be till the end of this month. Need to wrap things up before moving to Switzerland.

 

[DeuX]

I might have came across an opportunity to switch jobs, as an English language client relations rep. It'll pay a bit more than my current job, have more flexible schedule (goodbye waking up at 6 am). The downside - I'm used to working without a boss/supervisor and talking to idiots on the phone.

Sometimes higher payment doesn't worth the hassle. While I was studying I worked part time in a call center... those were the worst days of my life.

 

[Bavanai]

It's not just the pay, it's also located much better (i waste 3 hours a day to and from work) and I don't have to wake up so early which is torture for me.

 

[DeuX]

I know that feeling. I wake up at 6 AM everyday to start work at 8.30AM. Takes me 1 hour just to get to Amsterdam. That's why that I decided (together with my wife) to move to Zurich after I got an offer of 3x the salary I get here. Plus no more 2 hours trips to and from Amsterdam everyday. As an added bonus we will stay at my parents in law apartment. That will allow us to save a huge chuck of money.

 

[HellFire]

6 am over here as well,fuck I hate it. and about 2 hours+ on the road. At least I get payed travel hours

 

[Shade]

Nothing I hate more than getting up early in the morning

Take the job, logica. You already have a shit salary as it is, any improvement is worth it.

 

[Sere]

What would the job involve you doing? Location, pay, benefits?

Been saving hard to build my own house. This just gonna speed up things a little. I don't care about being rich. All I care is to fulfill my and my wife's dreams, pay my bills and have enough for food and savings. Times change and we need to adapt. Is to kill or be killed! On the not so good side of the thing my current employer is not really thrilled for seeing me go and he's actually being a prick about it. Making my work harder, handling me extra work everyday and refusing to give me a recommendation letter (though i know that I deserve it). Plus I was checking my payments and noticed that I'm missing Almost 500 euros from vacations. Guess I'll have to go all lawyer on them.

The job you're after.

Try /r/legaladvice, although most are generally familiar with only the American justice system.

The job you're after.

Well, I just came back from meeting the person who could help me with it.

Si basically, I'd get around 2-300 hundred lei more and most of the time I wouldn't have to wake up early in the morning - these being the pros. Oh yeah, and it's in town and not in a neighboring town like the current job.

But I don't think it's worth it. Current job actually has better future prospects, I think I can already ask for another raise this summer. Call center is a dead-end job. Something that's fine to 2 years in case there's nothing better for you to do.

 

[Sere]

I dunno what your current job is, how much it pays and so on. Got nothing to compare your offer to.

I'd get 2-300 lei more than the current job (I make power distribution and industrial automatization panels, like this one). It's not worth the switch because while the call center job would be more casual and near to where I live, it's a dead-end job while on this job I can get more money in the long run, especially if I start getting involved more in this trade.

I don't have any kind of schooling. At all. So I'm really lucky to have this job. Well, I was lucky to be hired, but I have earned my spot by becoming good at it. Hopefully I will find some opportunity to use my English (which people in this trade apparently can't speak at all) to get some better offers.

3000 euros, given or take. The average salary here is around 2.5k and the minimum salary is rated at 1500 more or less.

 

[Sere]

Got into a begginers course. Eventually I left for lack of time (and interest since the language ducks dunkey balls).

I get that kind of money outside the country,over here in Romania I get about 3500 to 4000 RON but that requires a lot of overtime and I hate overtime. But 3500 RON/month is guaranteed with a ~10h/day program. Outside I go up to about 2500 EUR in the Nordic countries and 2 - 2.3 in the rest of Europe. Thing is,I get to keep most of the money,somewhere along the lines of 90% of what I earn. The company pays for ...well,almost everything,travel hours,plane ticket,taxi cab,transport from/to site,internet connection,telephone and the 2 week vacation when you come from rotation,in short the cover everything except for food,so you only spend money on food and w/e you want.


As for the job openings,you kinda need some courses,anyway,I don't plan on staying a technician forever,as soon as I hear anything about a office position/HSEQ/Safety/IT I'm out.
