Immigrant Scientists in Ireland - Career & Finances

I did my undergraduate degree in Lagos. My MSc in Sheffield. My PhD in Dublin. When I arrived in Ireland to build a science career, I knew a lot about molecular biology and drug discovery. I knew almost nothing about Irish tax, Irish pensions, Irish property culture, or what to do with money in a country that was not the one I grew up in. There is no handbook for this. Nobody in your department explains it. The HR pack tells you about holiday entitlement. I figured most of it out late. Later than I should have. The immigrant professional experience in Irish STEM is one of the stories Good Money, No Plan tells. If you've navigated this — building a career in a country that wasn't yours — I'd like to hear from you. --- #GoodMoneyNoPlan #ImmigrantProfessional #IrishPharma #STEM
