I've taken a full time job at a bank that pays really well and has a great package... and I'm not happy. Really not happy. As it's in London.
I applied for a similar job in Lisbon, but didn't even get an interview. Sucks. Really Sucks.
- I better not lose this job in Mar 2019 when Brexit crashes the economy. Fucking hell, I'm really starting to hate UK, what a cunt of a country.shapesalad
- And it's bloody freezing....shapesalad
- /rant over.shapesalad
- Yeah, I feel for you surrounded by so many Brits, they're something else... Stay strong.robotron3k
- First World Problems threadchukkaphob
- Yeah - London's changing fast. Only a handful of good pockets left and they are going down fastmugwart
- I'm planning on renting a super cheap crap little room in a flat share near to the office. So I can avoid tube...shapesalad
- And save 75% of my salary. Then quit as soon as I have enough to buy a little house without mortgage.shapesalad
- ... hopefully in Portugal.shapesalad
- Banks are one of the main cuntributers to the cuntiness. Enjoy retirement.MrT
- you can save money? Any other jobs going at your place ;-)mugwart
- if in bank your city central - any cheap rooms?mugwart
- Yeah some rooms going in the slums near old street, £150 pw, 5 strangers to a toilet. Doing this at the age of 40. Bring it on.shapesalad
- ouch ... Had to do it at 36. Not much fun.
Make sure its not a sub-sub-letted flat. I fell accidentally into a scam few years back. Things get messy fast.mugwart - anyways if you can handle this for a few years and you have a place in mind for life back in Portugal then its not so bad.mugwart
- Yeah.. it's not a pleasure and I'm double checking the flat agents. No choice. Either this or spend 75% of my salary on rent and never buy.shapesalad
- Or commuting hell.. but even that is expensive and not sure how I'd get by after season ticket + need a car to get to station if I get an affordable house.shapesalad
- From all angles London is an expensive city unless you bought years ago, won lottery, have uber rich parents.shapesalad
- ^ this. Sad but truemugwart
