520.0. "Celt lookin for information Munich" by KERNEL::BRADSHAW (You want it to do *what*...) Mon Mar 06 1989 08:00

         Hi,

         As the title suggests here is yet another Irishman casting
         his eye far and wide in search of 'fame and fortune',
         strictly speaking this is not true, I left Ireland 3 years
         ago and have worked in the customer support centre here in
         Basingstoke ever since. I've been to Munich twice over the
         past two or three years, on training and and on holiday...
         I'll have to admit it,, I was heavily smitten by the place
         and the people, I would like to get the views of anyone who
         has or is working in Munich or the south of the country, in
         an effort to find out what the place and the people are
         really like, what is the Germans attitude to 'migrant
         workers' however skilled they might be, and so on...

         I look forward to any comments from people in the only county
         I know (outside Ireland,, naturally) where you can get
         something cold worth putting in a large glass!

520.1try contracting ...CSCMA::COSTIGANPaul SSM-CSCMA - 292 2284 Tue Mar 07 1989 12:3813
    Jonathan ,
    
    I was also very impressed by Munich any time I visited . There are
    a lot of recently graduated Electrical/Electronic Engineers ( mostly
    from UCD and Trinity ) working there for Siemens . The one useful
    bit of information I have for you is that the VMS contract market is
    very good there , even for non-German speakers . You can easily
    make DM 50/hr and I have heard stories of a lot more ....

    I would think that london is the best place to look into such
    opportunities ....

520.2Local Hire-o?VOGON::WALTERSWed Mar 08 1989 04:2814
    hello Jonathan,
                                                            
    Your right, the people are great and the city is impressive.
    I happen to be off to Munich on the 19th March to visit the Local
    Engineering Group - I'll try and suss out what I can find about
    local hires if you're interested.
                                                           
    You might also want to drop a MAIL to Anne Muller (RDGENG::MULLER),
    who is setting up a new group out there for Ed Services.
    
    Regards,

    Hallo Jonathon,
    
    I've been here (M�) for 1.5+ years as a contractor, and
    yes indeed it is a pleasant place. But then that is all relative
    and it depends what you are looking for. The biggest problem you
    would have here is accomodation. Very hard to get and expensive
    when you can get it. If you want any specific details then mail
    me direct @RTO.

    There are a bunch of Irish that work, or have worked
    in Kaufbeuren (KBO), which is about an hours drive from 
    Munich. You might try Brendan Collins for pointers...
    
    
    By the way, re: replies .7, .8, .9: Gimmie a break and keep those
    to a a note called grafetti or some such, and I won't have to waste
    time having to skip over them.

    Sincerely,
    Mike

            Ode To The Begrudger.
    
    There once was a man called McCrohan,
    Whose ego just wouldn't stop growin',
    Ne'er a minute for the frivilous,
    His time being so precious,
    That his reading these notes,
    In itself is a joke,
    We'll forgive him,
    And not take him serious,
    He's delerious.
    
    He crossed the three lads,
    In the notes file one day,
    He didn't appreciate,
    What they had to say,
    They gave him the finger,
    Saying here, sit and linger,
    Life's too short for listening
    to mooaaannnners.
    
    God protect us from people,
    With minds so feeble, and
    Hearts with so little joy,
    That they don't see this tack,
    Is no more than crack.
    So off with you now,
    We're hittin' the town,
    And trust me.......,
    You ain't invited.

       How duin'
    
             I started working here in Munich 3 weeks ago in the CIMIE
    group. From the little time I have spent over here so far it seems to be a
    hellofa place. The hardest part about settling in over here is finding
    accomadation. I still havent found a flat yet.
    
      Re. .10. Yes there are a crowd of Irish guys in Kaufbeuren. I was
    actually there last weekend, and have a few (!) drinkies with the
    infamous Mick Keyes and Co. Was a relief to get back to Munich!
    
      If any of you people out there are interested in going for a pint (or two)
    sometime just drop me a note. My mail address is BYENG0::CCOPAS.
                                                
                      till the next time,
