prolly like living in brazil if it was cold

Horrible, what else I can say.

Russia is pinnacle of easter europe life attitude. Vodka is your antidepressive pill. All commie blocks havent seen repair in at least 20 years and have the comfy grey color. Sunny days are as rare as they are in LONDON. Wages anywhere but in mosque are africa tier, barely enabling you to be able to afford rent and vodka. The gov is hopelessly corrupt, putin basically throws anybody who opposes him into "prison".
All older people have a mindset that anybody who tried to play a hero dies or dissapears, so they dont show any sign of being human anymore. They just slog through their daily life hoping liver failure will cut their suffering short. All young clever people spend their whole youth ammasing money to flee to any other country. Only depressed or dumb people stay, only making the fate of the country worse in the long run.
There is a saying: to be russian is to suffer. Only teenagers in first world countries who read a lot of /pol idealize russia for its "military power". Whatever russia touched, it stayed fucked for the next few decades. They also brought the worst evil possible to humankind: communism.

>All commie blocks havent seen repair in at least 20 years
Why is this tho? In other ex commie countries most commieblocks are renovated. Russian ones look like they're going to collapse at any moment
Alexander Taylor

>old people

Alexander Parker

Mason Thompson
Trust me, it's not just Russia. I've seen commieblocks in central asian countries that legit look like they'vs been on fire at some point, and people still live in them.
Jose Brown
Less niggers though
Daniel Turner
>Why is this tho?
Flats in commieblocks are not public housing, they are private property.
Nobody wants to pay money to renovate them. Not the owners, not the government
Sebastian Morales
In normal countries commie blocks are either owned by one dude or organisation which best interest is to keep the commie block habitable so they can keep making rent money in future.
In russia the rent money "dissapears" and when its time to renovate, nobody has cash or free will to pay / order the work.
Jason Gray
Huh? There's no maintenance fee or anything? In Finnish private commieblocks you just buy a share of that housing organization (i dont know whats the term in english) and have to pay a fee which is used for maintance, renovation etc.
Hudson Carter
visiting finland felt like russia so i guess its similar to the life you know
Justin Price
they just take money and do nothing
Julian Lopez
Yes but if you buy a share that means youre in the board deciding how that money is used.
Liam Lee
>There's no maintenance fee or anything?
There is, but it's like this user says They would paint the walls inside the building and replace doors but nothing more.
Jordan Scott
its very scary, it like vietnam without war

Yep, it began a fort during the Crimean War and later it was transformed into a small resort town

If you earn a lot then it's pretty decent, at least here in Moscow
If you don't earn enough then you're better off dying
Christopher Robinson
post comfy russian music pls

I still don't understand why don't people move to the south.
>fruits are cheaper

>everything is green, even in winter
Jack Peterson
What education do you need to become a programmer in Moscow? I assume it pays decent over there. Here you need to go through 4 years of university to be employed as a programmer.
Bentley Lewis
>no work
>shit wages
Kevin Cooper
nice
Daniel Rogers
>What education do you need to become a programmer in Moscow?
None, you need to know how to code and nothing else
Connor Gonzalez
OK but how do you prove to an employer that you're capable if you don't have any previous work experience?
Eli Murphy
But what's the average monthly salary in the south?
Ian Wood
Very gay song.

Christopher Reed
Not that user, but I did it by doing "freelance" work first. However that was 6 years ago, seems like it's getting harder and harder now.
Entering programming without getting an education (if you have this option) is a shitty choice anyway.
Jose Miller
i like it
Henry Mitchell
Keep freezing your ass then, wagie
~25k, but even 20k a month is enough for me to live happily
Your employer will give you a test task or something like this, idk
Tyler Cook
>Entering programming without getting an education (if you have this option) is a shitty choice anyway.
How come? The point of getting an education is to get a job. If you can get the same job without the 4 years of no pay education, then that's the better choice from my point of view.
Christian Bell

Please don't bully, I just want self-actualisation. I don't want to be a cashier or a php programmer .

Kevin Cox
Kevin Garcia
Isn’t the only part of Russia that has warm winters the coastal areas on the Black sea?
Austin Hughes
You can't get the same job though. After uni if you do everything right you'll be working in yandex, mail.ru or some other noice company. Without uni you'll work wherever that takes you for several shitty years, until, maybe, you can get into a noice company.
If I got an education I would've been much more successful as a developer.
Jack Flores
I didn't say it's bad, just very gay and gives me associations with one spammer on /ftb/
Andrew Sullivan
But I want 100k< and live comfortably. After all money = freedom.
Dylan Ross
>I just want self-actualisation
Fucking bio-robots, I swear.
Right, that's exactly why I moved here
Isaiah Hall
hahahah what is going on here, lara croft?

Xavier Torres
When I worked with a big oil company we had a lot of people in our Tyumen branch. Someone told me it's like Russia's version of Texas (lots of oil and gas jobs). I always wished I could've been assigned there.
Justin Myers

This.

How do you cope?
Is d-vitamin pills enough to keep going?
Dominic White
Chronic depression? I like!
Jaxon Nguyen

You don't need any, and yes it pays decent. Junior frontend developers can easily ask for 50-60k a month which is considered to be an above average salary already. Middle developers usually go with 100k. Seniors with 150k+.
If you're a junior then there's very likely to be a test task like the other user said. They never ask juniors for a portfolio or anything, but you should be ready for a rough interview with tons of questions as well as the test task which is usually something trivial.
Actually the interviews with middle developers are much easier than interviews with juniors, just because you can ask for a portfolio from a middle developer.
It isn't a shitty choice don't listen to that retard.
I'm a senior developer and 70% of people I've ever worked with (7 years of experience) weren't even STEM graduates, let alone engineers/developers. And they weren't bad too, they knew their shit.
Sebastian Jackson
> i will never be a trenchcoat wearing private detective prowling the streets of St. Petersburg
why did you give me this feel, huh?
Isaiah Jones
>How do you cope?
You just live with the pain at someone point you start enjoying it.
Carter Powell
Nice. Southern dummies never had those beauty
Ethan Green
>After all money = freedom.
Seeing churkas and bydlos everyday, walking in the dirty snow, smelling exhaust fumes 24/7, hearing your neighbors arguing through the thin walls of commieblocks on a daily basis in Mytishchi or Parnas. Commuting to work by subway for an hour every day and wagecucking yourself 9-5, 5 days a week for 100k.
I wish I had freedom like this.
Aiden Rivera
I do not think that this is very different from any other country in Europe.
Luis Richardson
It's shit, maybe i would have liked it if my parents changed the name to slavic ones and accepted christianity but fuck that. Trying my best to move abroad

What's it like living in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy?
What's it like living in Vladivostok?
Given they're both in the Far East, I imagine there are a lot of Asian/Siberians in both of these cities. which one has more European (blonde/blue eyes) Russians living there?
Where in Siberia has the highest standard of living?
Mason Bell

That sounds very pleasant, much easier compared to here. I would consider moving there if it weren't for the fact that retard labor makes about the same here.
Levi Baker
Best way to live is in aul/village that is not too far away from the big city, work as a freelancer or something and stay in your ethnic circle (at least for me) where people share your culture, customs, language. I'm bashkir btw. Otherwise i would rather moce somewhere
Thomas Gutierrez
I don't know if this one cute enough :3

All the really successful people have education in CS. If your highest professional ambition is to get 150k (2.5k usd / mo), then sure you can do that without an education.
Jordan James
You're wrong though. The kind of people you describe earn 45-50 tops, people who earn 150< live in a 4< room appt in the center of the city and live a comfortble life, you don't need to think and calculate your budget when you enter the grossery store or electronics shop but just buy what you need. You don't need to save 5 months to visit Turkey but can go ski to Switzerland on the weekend. You don't wait 2 weeks to visit a free doctor but go to the best one. Or change your appearance. That's the freedom money gives you. Keep telling yourself you don't want/need this or that, I was just like you at one point I know that feeling.
You can think you're happier being poor and ""free"" but you'll never know what actual freedom feels like.
Wyatt Clark
Prices are relative though.
50-60k is very much livable for a single person if you already have a place to live at (aka the monthly payment is about 15k for everything).
But it's kinda tough if you rent, because rent is usually 30-35k for the place alone.
As a middle developer (2y of experience) you earn 100k and it's such a livable salary that you can afford a rent, a car, eating fastfood shit, saving up for a new PC, etc. It's extremely comfortable for living alone.
For 2 people it's a bit rough but very much livable as well, assuming the 2nd person only has a negative income.
150k+ rubles is insane for Moscow. You'll be putting about 1mil a year to your savings account if you're smart with your spendings. That's more than a yearly income of some middle manager in retail or something, and you'll be just saving it up like that.
Wyatt Thompson

Not so much, I see them only in universities or markets. Sometimes as builders-laborer.
> Siberians
You speak as if they are not europeans. Based russians with ligth brown hair and grey eyes

Novosibirsk for Siberia. Vladivostok for Far East.

>You speak as if they are not europeans.
Yes. My understanding is that Siberian Russians are not European, because Siberia is entirely in Asia. Unless you mean something else - please clarify.
>*Khabarovsk-kun*
You're from Khabarovsk? That's the biggest city in the Far East, right? Do you like it there?
I like talking about Russian cities besides Moscow/St. Petersburg on Jow Forums because, due to me not speaking Russian, I don't feel confident visiting and speaking to locals outside of those two cities. So learning about other cities on here from Russians who speak English is interesting to me.
Josiah Gray
lmao I can't listen to this, it's way too retarded. Just some pop song there's no real meaning there.
