I currently live in Berlin and considering two offers at the moment. Intercom - EUR 75,000 - Stock (3000) options - Location - Dublin OLX Group - EUR 75,000 - 15% bonus - Location - Berlin I'm thinking if it would be a great idea to move to Dublin considering the insane housing prices and high cost of living there. I do consider that Intercom might offer more challenging roles and the opportunity to grow faster. What do you think? NB: For the poll, it's "Move to Dublin", a typo.
Messed up the poll :( meant to be "Move to Dublin"
Hi, I'm living in Dublin and trying to move to Germany. I'd stay in Berlin if I was you, the reasons (apart from housing crisis)? * Healthcare in Ireland is poor * Education not very good (only relevant if you have/planning to have kids) * if you are used and like German directness, you'll hate Irish politeness and indirect communication style and you won't be able to advance much in your career * Ireland is an island at the boundary of Europe, you might feel isolated from mainland Europe (well connected to the UK on the other hand) * public transport in Ireland is a joke and rush hour is stupid crazy if you drive * you'll miss roasted chestnuts! (hahaha maybe this is just me) Best of luck!
Thanks for the response. Makes a lot of sense.
75k brings you much further in Berlin than in Dublin.
Offer is low for Dublin, you'd get away from German language though if that's of any consideration :)
why you say low? how much is not low?
If I'm able to push to 85 / increase the stock options, would that be a good deal?
CoL in Dublin is higher than in Berlin. Dublin is however an amazing city, and you have easier access to exploring Ireland, which is absolutely beautiful. Consider what your goals would be for your time there, and how long you want to stay. It might be amazing for a year or two, if you know you don't necessarily have to make x amount in savings etc.
Lol beautiful, grass and rocks everywhere, shit weather and island. German nature is way way more diverse and beautiful. I am Irish tho
Go to Dublin, there are more companies and Berlin is too full
Go to bay area and earn even more?
May I ask you what exactly live coding question did you got on OLX Group? eg: fizz buzz
