      Lovely. I am not happy about having to emigrate to a non-EU country, but it’s my only choice.

        That said, it’s not a lovely thing here either. They absolutely do discriminate on how your name sounds, in some places being asked for a picture is still the norm, my landlord literally had to see our engagement photos before renting to us, and I could continue.

        Back where I emigrated from (similar reasons to yours), there is a saying “the fences are not made of sausages over there either”. But the thing is, they are not made of shit like back home. There is a valid reason you came here, and I think you’ve made the right choice. I know I have.

        Employers suck ass everywhere. You can do it. We’re fingers crossed for you from over the Channel.
