Persuasive Berlin or better rate?

[scooterscot]

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?

what a dilemma.
my take - I dont work because I enjoy it, so therefore if I am going to have a crap time whats the difference if its even more crappy ? so therefore go for the money and enjoy Berlin some other way,
maybe a three month holiday at the best time of the year

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.

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

HTH

True, but on the other hand...

Look before you leap. He who hesitates is lost.

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.

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

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....
