AMA on boards with a lad who worked in a refugee camp in Greece. Wonder how long it will take to degenerate into a shitshow?

Going for no.2 anytime soon? Tis great fun. Just come home from work and lie on the carpet. They thinks it’s a game and everyone admires superdad, meanwhile you are getting some much needed rest. The pretend snoring is also hilarious (I’m told)

FIL may be joining us in "The Gaffâ„¢" whenever that happens so we need to get ducks in a row first.

Waiting since 9am for Eircon to install FTTH.
OpenEir called me yesterday to confirm today, zero contact from anyone taday, so frustrating dealing with that company.
I signed up online last week for one price and they mail me the next day with a completely different price, they said on the phone the online system cant do discounts.
Very tempted to tell them to GTFO and order from Digiweb, the only negative going that route is they charge a €200 installation fee with a higher p/m charge but i think it will be worth it just to have no more dealings with them.This too shall pass.

So apparently I'm playing in the BSOP Sao Paulo (pokerstars) media tournament next week. My gf's mate runs a gaming website over here and has given me credentials as he can't play. I'm going to be "taught" how to play poker by professionals and some sports celebrities/ambassadors. Ronaldo and Neymar are apparently ambassadors. Unlikely to be them but you'd never know.

Every single media organisation is saying what I said in my initial post, nothing is set in stone but a new election is a distinct possibility.
But I am happy to revisit this on 23 May 2018 to see if an election has been called.Last edited by jack90210; 23-11-17, 18:24.

Salary : competitive
is such a frustrating load of shite. Do they only tell recruiters how much they pay?

Ireland is what I'm after tbh. If not now, in 12-18 months.
Just trying to figure out what kind of jobs are available that I should be trying to work towards. Wouldn't have an issue applying for that role tbh, not much I'm missing.
I might pop into yis when I'm home at Christmas to see if there's anything of interest.

Plenty of work in Dublin and some in much more interesting areas than just financial services and gambling if you want to branch out into really big datasets and something a little more aulteristic
Best reason to use an agent is to make sure you get your market value, if they are willing to pay up to 100knand you say you want 60k not surprisingly you will get 65k so that they show how much they value you.Last edited by RichieM; 23-11-17, 21:24.

I know you were saying you primarily work with software developers Richie but what's your thoughts on financial services roles being more readily available outside of Dublin.
I know there has been talk of companies moving outside of Dublin or new companies setting up outside but I don't see many roles advertised.

I would be massively in favour if that's the question.

Originally posted by RichieM View PostSome companies have secondary offices outside of Dublin but the majority seems to still be in Dublin. Might be true but I haven't noticed much move out.

State Street in Kilkenny etc.
I would imagine a lot of people would jump at the opportunity to take a role outside of Dublin if they were paid close to an equivalent salary.

I will not look forward to finishing a billing cycle with Eir though, horror stories i have heard.This too shall pass.
