I have a strong proof/ evidence that one of my performance discussions was recorded by the HR without my consent. Is it a GDPR violation?

I’m genuinely curious about this question. Everybody says that the government is rich, but IME they are not trying to make things better, they are just maintaining them at the same level. My biggest problem is with the comm*te, this evening, at 8:30pm, CFL actually cancelled the train to the north, while there are very few passengers. They don’t even give a reason for the cancellation. It’s not worth it to improve the transport for us poor people without a car??

Hey everyone, I started my indie hacking journey recently and already launched some products.

But I really think that community is key and I would like to meet other indie hackers and build such community in Luxembourg.

If anyone is interested, reach out to me or just reply to this post

Hello dears,

Which bowling alley would you definitely suggest for a family ? Is there any with above average food ? Reservations are absolutely needed ?

Thanks !

Im looking for new/used pc parts (psu, mobo and cpu) but I can’t find a store that actually actually have some in stock. Been looking in hifi and mediamarkt and can’t find anything, neither on facebook marketplace. Could you recommend me some? I don’t like shopping online, i prefer going to the store and buying what I can see before I take it.

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask if there are some local watchmakers or local watch shops that I can go to? I have an old vintage Eterna Vision watch and I'd like to get it serviced and the crystal repaired. Anyone got an idea?

Is anyone using carsharing in Luxembourg on more or less regular basis? I tried looking at the options and it seems quite expensive both in terms of price per Km and the franchise. It seems that if one uses carsharing at least once per week for a more or less long drive it does not provide much benefits in comprarison to regular renting or leasing a car, or even owning. Thank you for your feedback.

Hi, if anyone is interested in learning swimming as an adult and cannot find a place as they all fill out very fast, can we get together and hire a private teacher?

Let me know. Thanks.

I used to play years ago, but it’s been a long time, and I’m really rusty now (I haven’t played in about 7 years). Where can I do some basic training to get back into shape/get my reflexes back before joining matches again?

Bonjour à tous,

J'ai récemment reçu une offre d'emploi de la part de la NSPA (j'attends juste ma habilitation de sécurité), et j'espère entrer en contact avec quelqu'un qui a de l'expérience de travail là-bas. J'ai 6 ans d'expérience dans la finance, et on m'a proposé un poste de grade B10:4, avec une rémunération de 5200 euros

J'ai entendu dire que la NSPA peut être assez bureaucratique et qu'il y a un fort esprit militaire au sein de l'organisation. Je suis curieux de savoir ce que c'est que de travailler là-bas et j'apprécierais tout éclairage sur la culture de travail et l'environnement quotidien.

J'ai également quelques questions spécifiques :

1. Quels sont les avantages de travailler à la NSPA ?
2. La rémunération est-elle vraiment exonérée d'impôts, ou devrai-je couvrir des frais supplémentaires comme l'assurance maladie ou les cotisations de retraite de ma poche ?

Merci d'avance pour tout conseil ou information que vous pourrez partager !

Magda.

I have DKV insurance, and they're significantly increasing the costs soon. I have until December 11th to cancel, or I'll be stuck with it for another year. I took the insurance out in September 2022, so am I right in thinking that if I don't cancel due to the price increase, I'd need to wait until September 2025 to cancel?

My only concern is that I need to replace a dental crown. If I visit a dentist now and they confirm I need the work while I'm still covered, will DKV still pay for it after I cancel my insurance? Or would I be responsible for it?

are there any companies except Tesla center Luxembourg ?

Hi Luxembourg, I have a silver bracelet which I’d like to shorten… where do I go for this? Do I go to a jeweler or like another store and do you have any recommendations, where I can get this done cheap? Thanks in advance!

... And all of a sudden a lady driving a car slows down, takes a photo of me or my dog, waves at me (as I look at her with my wtf face) and drives away... Like what.. WHY would you do something like that?! I know I should have confronted her immediately, but it all just happened so fast. Just so rude.

I didn't witness in the last 10 years having this much low temperature and also dry. Am i the only one or do you feel the same?

I am in a privileged position seeking advice and food for thought especially if you’ve lived in Switzerland before and know what it’s like.

Weighing option to move to Zurich for a j0b.

Early 30s, no kids, not a native Luxembourger but obtained citizenship.

Pros of Lux

• got used to quiet and slower pace of life, comfort zone and knowing local “rules of the game”
• small circle of good friends, extended network of acquaintances, cosy neighbourhood
• decent current j0b with work life balance
• s tate health insurance and free transport (no car, live in city) so offsets COL somewhat

Cons of Lux

• s@l@ry is low and unlikely to get very high even as career progresses. Tech is not well paid in Lux in general. Not really interested in State j0b at this point in my life.

• limited opportunity for growth or changing companies. Lux is small….

• can’t speak French well

• some weekends are boring and slow

• food options lacking

Pros of Zurich

• huge tech scene, lots of opportunities
• PhD seems valued and appropriately compensated
• higher s@lary as my specific specialization is in demand
• big city vibe, food options, many activities

Cons

• big city vibe, fast-paced very busy and stressful. After luxembourg, it seems like a wild jungle. Crowded.
• 100% is 42 hours. Workaholic culture.

-high COL with privatised health insurance and transport (though after tax, I would still make 2x more in Zurich than what I would in Luxembourg)

• competitive environment. Could be seen as a pro too…

Hi everyone,

I have a offer from KPMG and PwC in Advisory, same entry level position for both. I wanted to know what the differences were between the two of them in terms of reputation and how it is for real, and if there was an advantage of working in one or the other that wouldnt be in the contract. And another question, at PwC, is the leasing car catalog big, or is it like a 5 car catalog like at KPMG.

Bonjour tout le monde. J'espere que vous allez bien. My name is Farhan et j'ai 22 ans. Je vais bientot terminer mon degree de Bsc Nursing from south cyprus (EU cyprus) et je veux m'installer en Luxembourg après mes études car j'aime bien ce pays là. I was born in Bangladesh and grew up in Mauritius where I completed my o and levels et mon niveau de français est C1 car depuis l'âge de 7 ans j'ai du apprendre cette belle langue puis que j'etais a lîl Maurice ( The island of Mauritius 🇲🇺) bon en bref je sais que les procedures seront compliqués mais je suis en train d'apprendre allemande aussi. Could someone please tell me which recruitment agencies would be good for me ? And what other things would be required to work as a nurse in Luxembourg apres graduation? Or should I pursue a masters in Luxembourg after Bachelors from Cyprus to increase my chances ?

Merci tout le monde !

Hello everyone,

I bought a second hand EV of more than 3y from outside Luxembourg, it will have export plates for some days and after I will register it here. Am I eligible for the new subsidy of 1.5k for second hand véhicules? Or the véhicule should be bough with previous owner in Luxembourg? Guichet is not extremely clear about this point and I have doubts about it.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

I am a divorced father with 2 kids (8 and 10). Now i have each second weekend the kids for me but I need some advice of which activities I can do with them in the city. I do not want to stay at home with them because the only thing they want is playing Switch.

I have some ideas like going swimming, to the christmas market, to the parks,... but there a surely more activities I am not aware of

Any good suggestions ?
