I'd like to start therapy soon, but I'm undecided whether to look for a Filipino therapist (where I'm from), considering that I currently live in Spain. Culturally, they're different, and I don't feel 100% attached to several Filipino values either, but I feel like a foreigner therapist won't understand my upbringing since Filipino culture has so many nuances.

Basically, I need to process how I grew up so that I can be better for the future... But the places and hence cultures where both have taken place are so different lol

Curious as to how anyone else might've done it?

I'll be solo travelling in the first week of June, if that changes anything.

My budget is ideally 15-20€ per lunch or dinner.

Not too keen on lining up for 30+ minutes just to eat ngl, but if you give me a strong enough reco, I may reconsider!

I'll also spend an afternoon in Cordoba in case you have suggestions there

It either ruins my sponge or hurts my fingers lol

I've been in Madrid for 3 weeks and I'm finding it hard to build a professional network here. There are some events tha I've signed up for, but for something more day to day, I wonder if coworking makes sense. Curious how everyone else managed!

I'm in my late 20s working in tech, if it helps.

Edit: my bad, instead of digital nomad, I mean *immigrants working remotely

Hello! I'm 28F & Filipina who just moved around 3 weeks ago. I've met several nationalities by now.. except Filipinos 😅 Hoping to make some friends!

I heard there's a racket club but I dont really play badminton. Would also love to meet fellow BI or data people, but not a requirement heh

I'm running a newsletter that compiles remote tech jobs for English speakers who want to work/live in Spain. You get to see 30+ listings from various job portals in one place every week. I manually compile jobs from Linkedin, Indeed, Remotify, and so on.

Hope it helps!

I read somewhere that paid ads are a need to grow subscribers to 1K, and sure I'll consider it when I'm at a larger scale.. but right now, I just want to reach 100-150 subscribers first without spending on ads.

Has anyone been able to do this, and if so, which channels did you use?

Specifically, I'd love advice if you successfully promoted on Reddit without being marked as spam or without having your posts taken down lol

On my side:

1. 1/3 of my subscribers are people in my network; the rest are people from Reddit

2. My newsletter is a weekly compilation of remote tech jobs in Spain, and so I targeted sub reddits related to remote work and digital nomads. In some, I was able to post until the post got taken down. In others, I sent the link to Redditors via DM.. and that was when my account glt flagged as spam

3. As much as I want to post on Linkedin, my company doesnt know yet that I'm doing this so idk how they'll take it, hence why I havent posted there.

4. I have some more colleagues from university whom I can coldreach via email or linkedin; just that it'll be quite manual and not as scalable (1 lead = 1 follower). Hence why I'm looking for something that might be better... I really thought Reddit would work haha

Hey everyone, I've been at my current company for a short while and it was a remote position I had spent almost 4 months searching for. It was a position I needed to be able to do remotely from Spain, to qualify for their digital nomad visa.

It was really hard just finding remote positions that I liked + I felt I had a chance at, so I wanted to share some tips from the whole experience

1. Filter for postings from the last 24 hours

-- When I used to hire people, I was actively checking applicants everyday during the first few days of the posting being live. I figured it would be the same for other recruiters. Getting your CV in early means you will be one of the first ones considered while you're not competing yet with so many others

2. Filter for postings with few applicants

-- Suppose a posting has been up for a week / 2 weeks but it still has less than 100 applicants. Same principle as above; the company will still have headspace to consider you among the other CVs they have. Usually, I go for postings with less than 80, just to increase my chances. This was how I found my current job. Tbh, if a posting has more than 100 applicants, I don't even bother anymore. But other people still do

3. Filter for postings written in English

-- This is specific to those looking for jobs in English. If it's written in English, it's much more likely that the company needs a native English speaker and nothing more. Tho sadly, sometimes they need bilingual speakers and I couldnt qualify for those

I used Filter 1 and 2 separately, meaning I didnt really search jobs w/in 24 hours AND with less than 100 applicants. Mainly because, with the second filter, I wanted to capture older postings that just didnt have as much traction yet

Finding is obviously just the first step of the whole job hunt, but putting some structure into it really did help.
