Ask HN: Living in Berlin, family of 4, working for tech

1 points| propeller_head | 6 years ago

Hi all Keen to hear experiences of people with families who made the move to Berlin in recent years.

I got an opportunity to live and work there (FinTech) on a good salary for at least two years.

Interested in lifestyle, safety and schools mainly.

From my research it seems that the city is very much geared towards the new generation but I'm happy to be wrong.

I currently reside in Australia if that helps.

Thanks!

Just moved here in September. Similar situation. We love it here so far. Kids are far more independent than USA. Strong work life balance. Tons of diversity.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I heard about work life balance there; in a way seems similar to Australia so that's good.

What about inclusion? You and your family feel like you're part of the community in a way? Not much racism/discrimination because you're a foreigner?
