Looking for a job in 2024 is horrible
My name is Zachary Steele Edwards and I am a Product Designer in Milan, Italy. It has been a long journey going through design school at the Politecnico di Milano. I have graduated and have been on the job search for a couple of months now. It has been quite a struggle. Luckily, I have been able to freelance, but sometimes a corporate job seems nice.

    9:15 no, there is a misunderstanding. In Italy you can't pay someone as much as you want, because each job has a CCNL (collective national contract). Companies that are not part of a "associazione di categoria" don't have to offer a CCNL, but by the law they can only offer contracts that are better than the CCNL in that field. What you've heard is that there isn't a "minimum wage per hour". Something that exists in many other countries. It's something that says you can't be paid per hour less than a certain amount whatever is your job. But all the CCNL say the minimum you have to be paid, how many hours you have to work, when you'll get an increase, what you can do and can't do. Unfortunately the CCNL are around 1000. So they are very hard to explain in a generic way. If you are a freelance and you make less than 85k you can have the Regime Forfettario which is very convenient and it has a very low taxation. 5% for the first five years and then 15%. But you can't deduct or detract anything, meaning you cannot subtract expenses from your income when calculating taxes. So it is convenient only if you don't have many expenses to run your business.

      @designerboy420 5 дней назад

      Thank you for your insight. However, I wanted to add that the situation for workers in Italy can be quite challenging. Typically, true freelancers manage multiple clients, which allows them to diversify their income and potentially negotiate better rates. However, in many cases, companies in Italy hire freelancers in a way that resembles full-time employment but without providing the stability or benefits of a full-time contract. These freelancers end up working full-time hours for a single company but are still classified as independent contractors. This arrangement often results in lower overall compensation than one might expect for similar work in other parts of the EU.

    Milan is not cheaper than American cities if you take into account the average salary and job opportunities. If you bring your $$$ w/you from the US, then it’s a different game of course. Those prices are high if you make €2k a month, which is over the average by at least 5-600€

    • @designerboy420
      @designerboy420 5 дней назад

      You are correct when it comes to the salaries. Since Italian wages are statistically lower than their EU counterparts, comparing them to American salaries would significantly change the variables. However, In my opinion, it is still cheaper to live in Italy. In America, you must pay for a car, car insurance, gas, and maintenance; our health care cost is the most expensive in the world. We must tip when paying for a service. Our groceries are expensive. And since many things aren't made in America we pay for overseas goods. So yes, the salary is less, but the money goes further in Italy than in the USA.

    My daughtrr has an appointment for her Student Visa in a couple of weeks. She likely wont have received it in the mail before she applies for her Redidence Permit. Will the paperwork she received after her Permit appointment be e ought for the Residence permit paperwork meeded?

    • @designerboy420
      @designerboy420 Месяц назад

      She will need to receive the student visa first because she will not be able to apply for the residence permit without showing the visa. So once she receives that, she will have a part of the permit process. She will still need to combine it with other docs like health insurance etc....

    My friend experienced the same thing in Croatia. He applied to some he didn't even want to do but needed a job. And yet didn't get those because they said he was overqualified while those he wanted couldn't get but didn't know why because they ghosted him. He graduated and is the same age as you. So finally, he decided to open his own graphic design and managment business as he is tired of the constant waiting! He is happy, has enough money to live and grow overtime not being stuck here with 2019 salaries 🥲

I think I applied to close to 1,000 jobs and I wasn't even being picky, I was literally applying for everything that wasn't impossible for me to do. It took me a full year to find a job.

      @designerboy420 3 месяца назад

      Ciao Sarah! This was a concern of mine too. Tbh, I didn't experience anything crazy or maybe I really don't pay attention to people's microaggressions. I did experience the difference in how people treated me differently as an American versus someone who was from Africa. They seem to hold Black Americans in a different perspective which doesn't make sense but okay. However, I felt like racism was the worst in America. People in America are taught to be hateful but in Italy which could be the same case I feel as though there is more ignorance due to there being small percentages of black people and smaller diversity compared to other EU countries.
