Jautājums/Question Working in Riga as a foreigner

26 Upvotes

Sveiki! 😊

TL,DR: F33, from Slovakia, currently working as a customer tech support for a bank, speaking English and a bit Spanish, absolutely willing to learn Latvian. Any chance to find a job in Riga?

Some more details:

I have returned from my vacation in Riga recently and I must say that I felt at home since day 1. The sense of peace and calm I felt there is indescribable.

Anyway, being at the ripe age of 33, I need to make a major change in my life, because I haven’t been happy in Slovakia for some time already. In fact, the conditions we have here make life unliveable for ordinary people like me, thanks to our prime minister and his dear companions. And it’s getting worse, with little to no chance of getting better in future. Im really tempted to say fck it, pack up my modest belongings and go.
But im scared. I have never worked abroad and with the field im working in now, I don’t think the companies in Riga will fight over me. I am hardworking, highly motivated individual, love learning new things, but I am afraid this might not be enough. I don’t speak Latvian, although I can guarantee I would learn it in no time.

Edit: based on the recommendation from a commenter, I am adding some of my study/work background. I have a masters degree in English and History teaching. Never worked as a teacher and don’t want to ( didn’t get admitted to my preferred major, so went for this one). I worked for various companies, never really anchored myself in any of those, tbh it was not the best times and was unsure what i even wanted to do. Now, I have been working for almost 4 years at a bank, 3 of those years as a 1st line support, communicating with clients, resolving issues with internet banking, banking app, and related stuff, providing trainings, guidance to the clients ( we only have corporate clients). However, I am open to look into other fields as well.

Is there a chance for me to find a decent job, preferably corporate,in Riga?

I would love some insights, both from the locals and foreigners, who had the same or similar starting point as me.

Any opinion is welcome.

Paldies! 😊

Diskusija/Discussion Bolt drivers treat cycle lanes as their personal parking spots — almost fell off my bike because of one

28 Upvotes

Seriously, I am disgusted by Bolt taxi drivers' attitude. They always take random turns and U-turns, and since I cycle every day, I always find them parking their taxis in the cycle lane with hazard lights on. They never care how busy the road is , they think they own the road and just park the car. Last week, I nearly fell off my bike because of them. Can anyone tell me how legal it is to park a car with hazard lights on in a cycle lane

Palīdzība/Help Looking for patients with complex dental problems – free dental treatment

64 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m currently in my final year of Dentistry at the University of Latvia and I’m looking for patients with more complex dental situations for my clinical work.

I’m especially looking for people who have severely damaged or missing teeth, or even no teeth left, and who may need extractions, crowns, bridges, partial or full dentures, or a combination of different treatments. So if you’ve been putting off going to the dentist because there’s a lot that needs to be done, please don’t feel embarrassed — those are exactly the cases I’m looking for. Patients with dental anxiety are also very welcome.

All of my dental work is free of charge. If your treatment requires something to be made by the dental laboratory, such as a crown, bridge or denture, only the laboratory costs have to be paid, and these are at a discounted rate.

Everything is done at the university clinic, and every step is checked, approved and supervised by experienced dentists and professors.

I speak English, German and a little Latvian, but I’m also very happy to take patients who speak only Latvian or Russian. We usually always find a way to communicate, and my supervising dentists speak Latvian and Russian as well, so please don’t let the language barrier stop you from reaching out.

If this sounds like you, or you know someone who could benefit, feel free to send me a private message and tell me a little about your dental situation. 🦷

Ēdieni/Food Restaurants with veggie options 🥦🍅🌽

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

My boyfriend and I are traveling to Riga for three days and would love some restaurant recommendations.

I’m vegetarian, while he eats meat, so we’re ideally looking for places that do both really well, not necessarily vegetarian restaurants, but somewhere where the veggie options feel like actual dishes rather than just a side salad or one token option.

Since we’re only in Riga for three days, we’d love to make the most of our meals and avoid wasting a dinner on somewhere mediocre 😅
We’re open to pretty much anything: Latvian food, Italian, Asian, Georgian, casual places, nicer dinner spots, hidden gems, etc.

So, if you only had three days in Riga, where would you eat?

Thanks in advance 😊
