| Sorry for the rant, but as someone who has done the process I find this post cringeworth (and not only because of the lowercase 'I's or the huge image on the header) 1 - Daft.ie. Period. 2 - It's not a "Welfare office", and you should go there (or not) depending on your address 3 - Or you just slide it on their mailboxes (depending where you are, the mail option may be more convenient) 4 - NIB? Well, AIB is good (but expensive), Bank of Ireland is not good, Ulster bank can't get their cronjobs right, but these three (and not NIB) are everywhere 5 - "Buy a mobile phone" or you just, you know, buy a sim card for your phone. This can be had in 5 min. And don't worry, it's cheap 6 - No crap sherlock. "and compare the cost of living and taxes with your city in order to properly negotiate your salary" And here's some good advice. I learned this, let's say, not the hard way, but I was "surprised" nonetheless. Always ask how much your net salary would be (and how much rent costs). For Ireland, expect around 40% of your salary to be taken for taxes, and you can have a small single apartment in the city center for between 600€ to 900€ (of course it's always possible to go higher) |
