23.10.2024

There are many sources where salary information is available— in many countries, the largest salary databases are published on the websites of relevant authorities (in Latvia: the State Revenue Service, in Estonia - the Estonian Tax and Customs Board, in Lithuania - the State Tax Inspectorate).

On planning fallacy

15.08.2024

Have you ever experienced that what you promised and planned to do turns out to be more difficult than expected, takes more time, resources, energy, etc? "I'll get there! if there’s a will, there’s a way!" people with a more optimistic outlook claim.
