  • yes i know. but its this difficult situation where you are dependant on the system, dont agree with it, but the alternative is much more difficult, and then by doing so, you keep the system intact, but have little other choice because you also need and want to work. i just did a postgrad internship through the leonardo funding system (and got a, albeit meagre, living wage) in berlin and of last week that landed me a job.
    its just as a foreigner not that easy since you dont have the contacts through uni/previous work experience if you go somewhere abroad. and if there is a time when you want to go abroad, then it is when youve just graduated.

    the good news is though they explicitly advertise with searching for part ii architects for which she qualifies. ive just told her to let them tell what they search for and want to offer. it can only be better then an internship. but if they do offer that, it would be nice to know what to ask for

  • of last week that landed me a job.

    Congratulations! So you're stuck in Berlin for a while longer? Are you getting paid properly now?

  • jep and jep.

    im even "my name msc - architektur und staedtebau kleinunternehmen" from now on.
    its freelance but as previously stated thats actually quite interesting tax wise.
    and i like the idea of having a "company", but a "job" with the perks of that is still the aim of the future. i have too a small network and experience or actually specific qualities that i can make it a durable thing. at least in germany... but lets see aye?!

  • ahh i havent said before actuslly because that post is in hyperspace somewhere.
    it is interesting because if i stay under a certain amount of "umsatz" per year i do not pay tax. which means i can save and actually do stuff for myself/competition/travel for the last two months of the tax year because otherwise ild be working those months for the taxman..
