Reply to: Persuasive Berlin or better rate?

Leave on good terms making some excuse about needing to be near family for a short term reason and that you will be back?

Currently what Mrs scooter and I are discussing... I'm not one to burn bridges needlessly but we both agree in this game you've got to look after no. 1 because no one else will.

Don't ask don't get...

Blessed are the cracked for they let in the light.

My success is all down to the mistakes I've made so much so I'm thinking of making a few more....

True, but on the other hand...

Look before you leap. He who hesitates is lost.

Haste makes waste. Time waits for no man...

Take the money and run, and it's only 45 mins flight from Schipol to City Airport!!

Or 3 hours on the train..

It is tempting. Especially when your hourly rate moves into the 3 figured bracket... and paid holidays!

Berlin the is the dog's bollocks. There's something for everyone here.

Go east to prenzlauer berg for an edgy, amazing nightlife, you might be eating in an old underground bunker one night and 21st century architectural designed building the next. If shopping is your thing go to Ka Da Va on Kurfürstendamm, makes Harrods look like the pound shop. It's not crowed, people are almost too friendly.

Then there's massive fish being waved in my face.

Working in the Netherlands I think would offer a good quality of life also, London is just 5 hours away on the train... but Berlin....

I'll keep your job in Berlin warm while you go and make some money in Holland.

Ich bin ein Berliner und meine Hoden verletzt -- John F. Kennedy said part of that

I am a hotdog.

When we finally get invaded by hi-tec aliens with brains the size of space-hoppers, I expect one of them will pull his translator-vac mk20 out, look around at the humans
beam brightly and say
'Yes, I am a big-mac with fries'

maybe, but...

Haste makes waste. Time waits for no man.

It's better to be safe than sorry. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.

Hitch your wagon to a star. Don't bite off more that you can chew.

I used to be with TW on this.
but now I think its always darkest before the dawn and you should make hay whilst the sun shines and strike while the iron is hot.
Whilst looking before you leap and remembering that if you marry in haste you will repent at leisure.

I'm nearly turning down twice my rate for a job in Holland so as I can stay in Berlin, such the amazing place that it is. How to decide?

Offer them half price rate so long as you stay in Berlin.

HTH

Better the devil you know than the client you don't
A bird in the hand is worth twice the rate in the bush
The grass is always greener on the other side
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth
