Funny that you say that because it's precisely what I've noticed and been saying, having moved to Europe because of all the great stuff mentioned on the internet and realizing it's…

> the main deceptive thing is calling this acquisition a “successful exit” — it was far from that! Corporate speak. Put a positive spin on everything!!!

Or car markers could just stop being stubborn and greedy with their proprietary trash and just support Car Play/Android Auto. That way the car acts as a dumb terminal for displayin…

That is the exact kind of post I refer to - post any negative thing about Germany and the PR team is out in full force to perform damage control.

The macro view of things (e.g. policies) doesn't bother me too much anymore. As mentioned, all countries are more or less shit (in their own unique way). It's what one experiences …

I moved to Germany in the dark days when I was gullible to believe the propaganda across the internet that "Germany = The 1st world that's better than America" only to arrive and d…

> But those kind of spreads are less common in Europe. Having lived and worked in Europe (Germany) for a few years now, I can confirm that this is the biggest lie/propaganda ever. …

Don't forget the constant shitposting by your friends and (ex)coworkers to make themselves appear very smart and hardworking. I've always felt LinkedIn is 300% the cancer that Face…

I've seen people speak of how big corporations state-side offer more pay and packages, and that startups are mostly for the bored looking for new challenges and make their mark (pl…

> I'll add that it's salary survey information as well. Not really. Here in Germany (where Glassdoor isn't even as popular as in US/English speaking countries) I've noticed the sal…

That's because Glassdoor can be full of crap; it was useful a few years back but now it's flooded with HR spam that are fake reviews and damage control, and presumably a few fake s…

I've been interviewing at a profitable startup and am about to enter the final interview round after the new year. They have around 200 employees, have received several rounds of f…
