  • I don’t know if reddit is the best place for job hunting, you might get better luck on LinkedIn most likely, but I’d personally try everything if I were in a dire situation.

    Just a couple questions, how long have you been job hunting? How many applications have you put out? In a post in that sub someone is complaining about not getting any answer after ‘50 applications in a month’, another one is already in despair after ‘4 days’… don’t get me wrong, I know how soul crushing job hunting is but it is a numbers game you can’t throw the towel after four bloody days ffs! 50 applications is just a good Tuesday, I’ve got calls more than a year after applying for a position…

    Another question you should ask yourself is whether you are an expat or a migrant. Main difference between these is that migrants usually don’t see driving an Uber, laying bricks or serving tables as below them.

    Anyway best of lucks and welcome to this side of the pond!

    Ps: Oh! Also: wages! Their not American wages, CoL is lower but not by that much (some things like electronics, cars, gas… are in fact more expensive). A waiter in America (specially CA, I think I’ve read your from LA) makes more than most engineers here in Europe.





  • I definitely blame the democrats. They’re the ones that have put Trump in the White House twice. I’m not talking of ‘letting it happen’, the dnc have actively done everything in their hands to make him president both times.

    Edit: If you can’t, or don’t want to see it I’m not gonna try to convince you. This meme over here speaks volumes by itself– the dems not just can’t reach the blue collar workers, who should be their main demographics, they’ve alienated, and even antagonized them to the point that many voted for Trump (I’m not saying this is a sane reaction! But people would grasp to straws). So yeah the ‘insufferable tubs of shit’ are the working people not the billionaire owners of the party.
