I'm moving to Ireland, and my current saving is not in Euro. I'd need to transfer a huge chunk of the money to my saving in Ireland. Transferring directly via my bank is very convenient, but the exchange rate is not good. Have you ... Read More

Cheapest cities in Ireland by Bhavna

Hello everyone, Budget is an important consideration when moving to Ireland. Ideally, expats would settle down in a city in Ireland where the cost of living is low but where they could also enjoy a decent quality of life. Would you be able to ...

The Numbeo site can do comparison too. Seems like Galway is cheaper than Cork: https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Ireland&city1=Cork&country2=Ireland&city2=Galway Read More

I have been to Ireland a few times, stayed for a few weeks each time. I like the place so far, but of course, holiday is very different from actually living there permanently. Thanks for sharing the details, now I have more considerations to take in ... Read More

Yes, it really is a complex matter. I just don't want to grow old in a place where I'm just a number, and they'd ditch me as soon as I'm not producing milk for the corporates. I have checked numbeo.com, the problem with numbers is, ... Read More

This is the case of the grass is greener. And like you said, depends on the priorities. Singapore is a great place for earning money, but I wouldn't want my children to be born and grow up here. The people here are horrible. Nobody's ... Read More

Can foreigner work as HR professional? by RinOreyva

Any Human Resources professional can share some insights? Is it an unwritten rule that only locals work as recruiter/payroll/etc due to the local knowledge and experience?

RinOreyva

But wouldn't the company prefer to hire a local, assuming that they're more familar with the local insights? Even regarding the language alone.. it's already challenging :( Read More
