  • Well in Germany there’s a greater percentage of English speakers than in other European countries, I don’t think there are many teams in Spain, Italy or France speaking in English.

    I’m not in IT so my knowledge is not first hand but I do know that while there are jobs the competition is crazy, job offers for a single position or two get thousands of applications. For a company to hire someone on the other side of the pond op would have to really stand out from the other thousand applicants.


  • I don’t want to demoralize you just to be realistic. Those languages aren’t getting you very far (maybe try in Ireland or malta), English proficiency in the eu isn’t great. Also those fields you listed are super saturated.

    When you say remote do you mean working from the states? A European wage with American CoL? I think many Americans think we’re paid the same as them. We are not. A waiter in the us prolly makes more than a (medical) doctor or an engineer over here, and I’m not talking about fresh out of college.

    Hotels, bars, restaurants in some touristy areas in Spain (east coast, Mallorca, Ibiza…) do hire native English speakers. Also teaching English as a second language. But I’m not sure you’ll get many offers without being already here.











  • Well I’m inferring your dad’s not a young lad anymore, twice a day is quite impressive even more at 6 o’clock! I think they’re a bit in the honeymoon phase, it’ll mellow eventually*.

    But to answer your question I have two options: -Tell him to lower the volume or pick some time you’re not home IF it’s your home, as in your dad has come to live with you or you are roommates, or you are too young to live by your own. -But IF it’s his home and you are old enough then get your own flat/room or some good headphones and let them enjoy life.

    *Or not, I don’t know your dad or his girlfriend. Wish them the best tho.


  • Maybe it’s playing devil’s advocate but how is this consistent? Can you put a listing in Amazon, booking, Airbnb… and tell the customer ‘don’t buy it here! Come to my site or call directly to us and we’ll give you a better price without Amazon’s (or any other) cut!’? Also with the third party apps/stores on iOS (which I support more than this one even if I feel that it can go very wrong) I don’t see them doing it with other platforms like Nintendo’s or Sony’s (PlayStation).
