Good luck though, what are you going to work for?

Dubstep and Drum and bass are not that popular here. Dundalk aint a bad town. Maybe me, you and Rhand can have a mini lan

Why would people move to Ireland just to have that kind of job?
I mean you can find the same in your homecountry rite?

u actually cant in some cases, most of the big companies that employ alot ppl have offices in those places

miNd is right! There's nothing else to do over there it's just for my CV, money and a bit of experience.

In Belgium there are alot of vacancies for jobs like that. I'd not go for smth like that to Ireland. Or it should have to pay much better wich I highly doubt :).

Ofcourse u have big companies over there, but thats not what i ment.

HP customer support for example is pretty much located on Ireland and have their only support center they have basicly there etc etc and thus ppl who wanna work there go to ireland cause of that etc etc, thats what i ment.

Well you do have a point. At the end of the day London's GDP is higher than all of Belgium combined.

Actually Ireland does have a ridiculously high minimum wage. Part of the reason that they were one of the first countries to ask for a bailout. Never understood why people would want to go to Ireland. The Irish are generally ill educated pricks, and it is by far and away the worst country in the world for women. Seriously, Irish girls make Scottish girls look like Colombian supermodels.

What's the minimum bruto wage?
Parent
▼
SpeaKeR 25 Aug 2012, 12:57
About 8.65 euros per hour, but I think that has gone down by a euro due to the banking crisis, so may have used to be 9.65 euros. Which is high compared to the UK's 5.85 pounds per hour.

spiROZE 25 Aug 2012, 13:09
I'd not get out my house for such wage :D

Welcome to Ireland ;-)

Make sure to pack a rainsuit!

What kind of job will you do?
▼
LeJUiCE 25 Aug 2012, 12:12
Aww rain?
I have the best rain jacket ever existed but I thought it would be warm :(
Parent

Rhand 25 Aug 2012, 14:33
Warm and Ireland does not compute. Think the warmest we had this year was 22° or something, lol.
Parent

LeJUiCE 27 Aug 2012, 23:05
oh snap. It'll work out somehow i guess :)
My current boss keeps telling me I shouldn't move and that the Irish hate everyone from Middle Europe. I figured he just had bad experience somewhere as he doesn't speak a word of english can't even say hello x)
Irish guys are cool over here but would you say that you like foreigners at home or do you just "accept" em?
Parent

Rhand 29 Aug 2012, 19:52
I'm not Irish, I'm Belgian ;-)

Can only say that after 10 months here, I still don't have any real Irish friend.
