Return to the homeland - how much credit can I afford?

Why do so many people actually worry about what strangers might think. My grandma always used to say, "what does the oak care if the pig rubs against it." If someone asks me why I drive an SUV, my answer is "Because I can" and that’s the end of it. It doesn’t matter how someone perceives it if you don’t know them and don’t want to get to know them.

I am absolutely confused about the context of Frankfurt and quality of life. To what extent does Frankfurt offer quality of life that you can’t find better in other cities when speaking of qualitative life? I myself have never lived in Frankfurt, but I think you have to think more in terms of big city and small town. And in my opinion, other big cities offer more quality. When I think of "international," I think more of Hamburg or Berlin when it comes to life and not banking business. International life mostly takes place centrally, but who finds quality of life centrally in Frankfurt? Show me a study where Frankfurt is named among the top 10 cities in Germany in terms of quality of life (which also includes adequate housing)?

International was meant in reference to shopping, restaurants, etc.

Strolling, as mentioned here, can certainly be nicer on the Ku’damm or at the Alster than in the metropolis F - with many international opportunities. Chinese restaurants and the Bosnian came to Germany back in the 80s and can also be found in small towns. The mindset irritates me. International schools are mentioned. There are no children yet. Okay, but international schools are not linked to the big city.

A very small place is simply nothing for me.

Just delete very small, then you only have place standing there.

However, this also stuck with me:

Unfortunately, I am professionally limited to only a few cities worldwide, and of those, Frankfurt happens to have one of the best qualities of life, and also good schools. Therefore very attractive!

Which cities are still in question? Frankfurt apparently only refers to the few cities - which would those be?

Why I have to laugh: the self-image does not at all match the wishes portrayed here. Between the lines, all sorts of (pre-)judgments flash. Together with the almost childlike questioning about how the situation around Frankfurt is.

Yes, I also read only clichés.

Basically, congratulations on the brilliant equity, but apparently for F and surroundings it’s just a small fart, so not worth mentioning. And the start of the thread and the appearance here also quickly "relativized" ;)

I would try to "buy in" somewhere else where quality of life is offered to me through better air and a quieter atmosphere. As already said: multi-culti is also available elsewhere, and in style. I only know green Hamburg, but I know that in the northern regions (very tight commuter belt) there are already nice, really nice houses, not comparable with the Immonet offer of your link. Or take Copenhagen if it should be international... so: the few cities that are up for selection really interest me.

But you have noticed that the OP is considering Frankfurt precisely because he would move there "with his employer"? ;)

No one claimed that it can’t also be nice in Hamburg or elsewhere :)
But his workplace dictates Frankfurt for him.

he wrote (I have quoted) that few cities are available to him Quote: "Unfortunately, for professional reasons I am limited to only a few cities worldwide, and among them Frankfurt has one of the best qualities of life, as well as good schools. Therefore very attractive!"

To my understanding, the statement referred to a "worldwide limited selection," but only Frankfurt in Germany.

But well, the OP will certainly be able to say more about that :)

I would try to “buy in” somewhere else where quality of life is also offered to me through better air and a quieter atmosphere. As said before: multi-culti also exists elsewhere, and in style. I only know green Hamburg, but I know that in the northern regions (very narrow commuter belt), there are already nice, really nice houses, not comparable to the Immonet offer in your link.

Hamburg is great. Love the city, but it doesn’t work professionally. Of course, the quality of life there is better for many.

There are only a few alternatives since I am too specialized. NY, LA, HK, Tokyo, Shanghai, London, Paris. In DE there is nothing - maybe Munich but I simply don’t have an offer there. All expensive, but even with that salary I’m just a small fry in all of them. LA would be best, but too far from family. London great, but living costs too high and too far from the Alps too. Frankfurt compared to them is a small town but offers a lot and quality of life is relatively good. I can live in the house but still be 30 minutes to the airport or to work. With 100 days of business travel and 80-hour weeks, that’s worth a lot.

I won’t respond to the rest. Then I am just a cliché.
