Event Hamburg 20 up

Gepubliceerd op

On the Monday the 21st of April the first Middle Point Hamburg event took place at a special location.

Boasting spectacular views of the river Elbe and port, this elegant Skyline Bar "20up" is a very special place. Situated on the 20th floor of the hotel, here we have experienced a unique sunset and enjoyed drinks at the same time.

Our employees, working at several Hamburg based companies, gathered to join us on this Monday evening for drinks and bites. As it was days prior Andreas Birthday we opened a bottle of Champagne to celebrate his ‘Geburtstag’. It was a great moment to get to know the people better and enjoy the stories exchanged. Funny to hear some people already knew each other through former employers and even, without knowing, people from different companies working on the same project.

Working in another country sounds exciting. And often, it is. A strong project, a different setting, maybe a role that suits you better than the one you have now. From a distance, it can look like a fairly simple next step. And sometimes it is. But usually, there is a bit more to it than the role alone. For most engineers, the real question is whether the whole thing fits once normal life begins. The work itself, the team, the language people actually use, the travel, the weekly rhythm. That is usually the point where an idea starts to feel either right or not quite right.
