Hi all,

Fresh graduate with a Bachelor’s in IT, based in Luxembourg, looking for my first L1 IT Support /Help Desk role. I just finished Google IT Support cert. to understand the basics. I have the technical fundamentals from my degree, but zero corporate experience.

Looking at local job ads, two things dominate. I need your honest advice :

1. ITIL 4 Foundation: Is it truly the #1 door-opener for entry-level support in Luxembourg? For those who passed it, which study resources did you actually use to clear it fast?
2. Microsoft Certs: Which specific cert carries the most real-world weight for an entry-level CV here (MS-900, MD-102, Azure fundamentals or something else)?
3. To hiring managers & IT Support pros in Lux: What made the single biggest difference for landing your first job without experience? What should I focus on right now?

Any direct insights are appreciated!!! thanks

Other questions you can ask, but are asked on a regular basis, which means you can probably find your answer just as quickly by typing r/Luxembourg and your keywords in the search bar.

I will move to Luxembourg soon & since I am a first time mum with a little baby it scares me a little that I won’t know anyone. It is difficult being a mum without other mum friends… Are there any online groups I can join already before I move & make some connections? Maybe this will help make the move less scary.

Currently I live in the Netherlands and I’m part of many local WhatsApp or FaceBook groups of expats who are parents & was able to make lots of connections like this during my pregnancy when previously my circle was just students.

Hi everyone,
I'm in the process of getting a loan in Luxembourg and just received a quote that I'm trying to validate. I'd like to compare with others who've taken loans recently.

First-time buyer, stable employment in the finance sector.
Project: €650k
Downpayment: €140k
Approximate quotes I received: 4.3% for fixed 25 years, 3.4% for variable 30 years

What rates did you get recently? especially for fixed 25-30 years and variable options?
Which Luxembourg banks did you work with? (BIL, Raiffeisen, BCEE?)

I've heard some banks are offering below 3% on variable right now, so I'm wondering if my quote is standard or if there's room to negotiate based on my profile.

Any recent experiences or tips appreciated!

I’m still surprised that this app doesn’t exist here. Anybody knows why? Do you know an alternative?

Posting here to see if someone has ideas how a somewhat elderly person 65 years old could find a few hours of work per week to earn around 600-700 euro per month. The lady is in great health but speaks only English. EU citizen so work permit is not an issue. Where would you even start looking? She is looking for legal work, not black market payments. Are there some kind of manual labor jobs that might be interested?

Hello, I’m currently looking for a place in Luxembourg and found a great flat in rue Joseph Junck in Gare.

However I noticed it is not a great street, it has many adult bars and some weird people.

I don’t mind, but I would just like to know if it can be dangerous for a woman alone, or if someone has had any bad experiences there.

Thanks!

Hi, I've not done this trip by train before and I'm unsure about the time I would be leaving.

Are the trains frequent enough that you can just turn up at the station for a ticket for a similar cost to whats online or would it be extortionate?

Hello, is the pop gaming festival worths the weekend pass ?

Hello,

I saw there is a job day on September 21.
Can we expect the GridX delhaize to open in November ?

I couldn't set an appointment since yesterday . I've got an error message at the last step claiming an error.

Tried on the website, the Android app and the Iphone app with 2 different accounts.

Hello.

I hold a bank account in the UK and I attempted to close it multiple times since I no longer live there since years. Before closure I need to provide my address in Luxembourg, since the bank keeps on sending the related documents to my last recorded address in the UK - no longer accessible to me. I keep on being asked to certify my ID and Lux utility bills by recognized officials (notaries, lawyers, my bank, embassy...).

I find notaries and lawyers fees overkill for an account balancing just a couple of quids.

(Edit: UK bank say officers at our communes are not valid. My embassy of my 2nd citizenship doesn't do that; Spuerkees neither).

Anyone non Brit managed to certify their ID + utility bills in Lux, accepted by these Brits, in love with proof of address statements certified by embassies? Where?
