Hey everyone,

My partner and I are a young EU couple (from Slovakia) looking into a long-term move to Andalusia, specifically looking at smaller inland towns along the C2 Cercanías line around Málaga, like Pizarra or Álora. We want to avoid the busy coastal and tourist hubs entirely, live a quiet and simple life, and focus on learning the language and settling in.

Our income setup is a bit unconventional, we study university online, work seasonal jobs in Iceland over the summer to fund ourselves, and live quite frugally off our savings during the rest of the year. Another major reason for wanting to move to Spain is medical,I need to start hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which is completely blocked and inaccessible back home.

Since we don't have local Spanish employment contracts , we'd really appreciate a reality check on whether landlords in smaller inland towns are generally open to tenants paying several months of rent upfront, or if that’s an automatic rejection with most agencies.

We’d also love to hear from anyone who has registered as a self-sufficient EU citizen in the Málaga province using foreign savings, or anyone with experience using private insurance without copays to see a private endocrinologist for HRT in Andalusia.

Thanks so much to anyone who can share some guidance or experience!

Hey everyone, hope it's okay to ask here.

My partner and I are a young couple from Slovakia hoping to move long-term to one of the smaller inland towns along the C2 line, like Pizarra or Álora. We know housing is really tough right now, and we definitely want to avoid the coast and tourist areas entirely, we just want a quiet, simple life in a normal town, learn the language, and keep our heads down.

Our situation is a bit unconventional, we study university online and work seasonal jobs in Iceland over the summer to support ourselves. A major reason we're trying to move is medical,I need to start hormone therapy (HRT), which is completely blocked back home.

Since we don't have Spanish employment contracts, we wanted to ask if landlords in the inland towns are open to tenants paying a few months of rent upfront, or if our profile is basically an immediate rejection?

Also, if anyone has experience registering EU residency using foreign savings, or using private insurance to see an endocrinologist around Málaga, we’d really appreciate any honest reality checks.

Thanks a lot to anyone willing to help out, and sorry for adding another relocation post to the sub!

Mam 19 rokov. Nechcem tu vyplakavat, ale uz naozaj neviem, co robim zle a uprimne mi dochadzaju napady. S programovanim to myslim totalne vazne. Mam za sebou par fakt komplexnych full-stack projektov (ziadne naklonovane to-do appky z Youtube tutorialov), spravil som si cisty a moderny portfolio web.

Na vysku som siel narovinu len kvoli studenskym benefitom a statusu, planujem po prvom semestri odist a naplno makat, lebo slovenske skolstvo mi realne skusenosti do praxe neda a nechcem stracat 5 rokov zivota.

Vzdy, ked vidim poziciu pre juniorov alebo studentov, stravim hodiny nad upravou CVcka. Napisem cover letter presne na mieru firme, ukazem, ze viem, co robia a preco tam chcem ist. Vysledok?

Vzdy ta ista pesnicka. Pride automaticka odpoved "evidujeme vas ako kandidata" a potom... ticho. Ziadny feedback, ziadna sanca ukazat kod, ziaden pohovor. Nic.

Je to hrozne demotivujuce. Clovek sa snazi, maka na sebe po nociach, chce robit a naberat skusenosti. Nepytam si nastupny plat 2000 eur. Chcem len sancu ukazat, co vo mne je. Naozaj HR oddelenia radsej zoberu cloveka, co len sedi v skole, nema ziadnu prax a programuje len ked musi kvoli zapoctu, len preto, ze ma "papier", namiesto niekoho, kto ma realne vysledky a brutaly drive?

Ak je tu nejaky tech lead, senior developer alebo HR, ktori maju plne zuby ludi bez zaujmu a chcu vidiet realny kod a projekty od cloveka, co chce makat, prosim, ozvite sa mi do spravy. Rad poslem portfolio. Chcem len jednu jedinu sancu na pohovor, nic viac.

saw the 90 min finale last night. regardless of the allegations, its crazy to watch a billion dollar company panic and compress a massive season 3 into a single movie. they took a guaranteed hit and just gutted it. do you guys think studios will ever give absolute control to a single showrunner again after this? dropping the whole apocalypse plot for a quick wrap-up just screams PR nightmare avoidance. creator era is dead imo.

everyone keeps hyping up this movie as the ultimate story about freedom and female emancipation. but honestly? i feel like people completely missed the point of the ending. Bella didn't find "freedom". she just climbed the class ladder. like, think about it... she starts off as literal property in that mansion. then she goes to paris and basically joins the working class as a sex worker. then on the cruise ship she has that whole emotional breakdown about poverty and inequality. but how does it actually end? she just goes right back, inherits godwin's massive estate, and becomes the exact same wealthy elite that just sits around drinking tea in a garden. she didn't break any system. she just used old money to buy her way into the 1%. kinda weird that everyone is praising this as some huge liberation tbh. she literally just became a rich snob.
