This week I didn't work. I got covid and the doctor wrote me free from work. I'm pretty knocked out. This forced break from work and stress made me realize something. Maybe I shouldn't have sold myself for so cheap to the company. The starting salary for graduates for my job in my area is around 42000€ a year. Even with all the benefits I'm not close to this number. 😓 When discussing my salary during the job interview I asked for less than what the company was offering me... It's probably okay since I "earn" work experience which will lead to higher salaries in the future, but maybe I should have ask for a little bit more... 🤔😔 This whole year of rejections crushed my self esteem a lot...

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you will get through these things. We all are fighting in life, may we survive our silent battles. 🙏
Thank you... Yes. You are right... And at the end I can just be glad that I found a job which was a huge coincident...
For sure you would find more good jobs. Are you still going to Japan?
Yes! In two months I will go there. I already booked the flight and the hotel... I should already start preparing tbh... But I'm so busy that I haven't found time to do so yet...
Wow I hope the covid won't affect your travel. It must be exciting to you, don't forget to take pics or write a blog!
I hope so too... I really hope that I won't be sick then and have to cancel everything... I will for sure! I actually bought a compact camera for this trip. 😅
Wow that must be exciting. Just really pray you won't get sick..maybe you would like to try visiting the islands in Philippines
Thank you!! I actually want to visit the Philippines too. Maybe next year. I found out that flying from Germany -> Philippines -> Japan would cost the same as Germany -> Japan. So I could visit both countries in one trip next time. 🤔
Oh just tell me if you'll visit Philippines one day. I would be glad to meet you in person!
The thing is that most likely for the first time visiting the PH I probably will stay in Manila. 🤔 I think this would be the best option for me.
I hope you're now doing and feeling well🥺🥺
Thank you...
