My Life in Serbia🇷🇸: Working Two Jobs (1-Novi Sad & 1- Belgrade)

“ Charles, Gde si?” I hear that all the time. I have been hard to reach and out of touch since I returned to Serbia. Why? I started a 2nd full-time job in this country. My other job allows me to work from home which gives me too much free time so i accepted a position with an American company in Belgrade.

@@uc5337 that's what's wrong with Serbia you guys have no desire to create a stronger economy/workforce. We work so much here yes however we also have lots of jobs and room to grow. I love Serbia, my ex is from Zrenjanin and if she'd listen I'd tell her how much I still miss and love her, however I really feel like Serbia must improve. The BWF (Belgrade Waterfront) is a beautiful place however hardly any Serbs (native) can afford it.

[@obilic93]

@@shyryTsr2k yes. But dont forget cost of living are different. Also we are a lot family oriented. If we use 16h to work and 8 to sleep then it is imposible. Some h are lost on transport and where to put family? Humans are social beings after all. Also i think it is forbiden to work more then 40h per week by law which makes me wonder how charles can do. These laws are in place so that people cant be used as worker slaves where they would just work and sleep. Ofc you are totaly right we need to improve our economy but if you take our history in account you would see that we are improving and keep pushing but will always lag behind some economies cz of some history events... Wish you all the best.

Charles, I have watched your videos off and on for the last couple of years and have really appreciated your humble down to earth attitude. I have also found it refreshing for an American to appreciate the Balkans (I am not a balkaner btw) given what transpired in the 90's. Sadly Serbia is declining massively due to low birthrates - like most of the west and east Asia. Anyway, I am excited to visit

[@ironfoxzone2252]

As a student of traffic engeneering in Belgrade (Railway department), glad to see you using the train. For me the most interesting thing is that if you did this last year you would have so much troubles in transportation which would defeat the purpose of working in two cities. Do you have any suggestions or something that you don't like when it comes to railways? Maybe we can work something out in the future 🙃
