Nah, I'm enjoying free agency) Can't join any of the 30-day teams as I've exausted all my tries there. As for 100's, I dunno, I`m kind of sitting on the fence.

No! Not even close))

 

[Elena608]

No! Not even close))

Then you are really good. Congrats.

 

[Roustique]

Thank you! But there's always room for improvement though. What about you? English is your ....job or something?

Its true. There's always smth new to learn. As for me English is part of my job to communicate with foreign partners but business correspondence and rare phone calls are not enough to keep Eng on good level. So i'm trying to use any chance to train it.

There was time I used to translate stuff for my company. In fact I spent 8 years doing that. Now, it`s the same damn employer but different job description where knowing English doesn't really mean a rat`s behind. Yup, things we do to get paid))

Did it worth it?

 

[Roustique]

Money wise - it was worth it. I am small town hombre, well-paid jobs don't grow on trees there.

They never grow on trees, to be honest. Not even here in the capital.
Unfortunately, there is quite a common way of thinking betweenthe Russians from all over the country that the most important thing one can do in life is to come to Moscow. They are probably sure that once you step out of the cart on one of our railway stations, a million dollars falls from above and you get famous... Well, I have todisppoint you guys. we also WORK here. )))))

[Михаил К.]

Yep, I did. ))))))
Cause you mentioned that "...well-paid jobs don't grow on trees there...". I only pointed out they do not grow on trees here either.

Point taken)

True but salary level is higher in Moscow anyway. I suppose thats the main reason of full trains coming to Moscow))) and by the way usually comers are ready to work harder for less money
