> It's none of their business what you want to do with your company There are plenty of European member states that want the ability to control very precisely what you do with "your company". You want to call yourself "a software engineer"? Ooops... In the EU it seems particularly the German-speaking countries are borderline obsessed with a) titles, and b) whom may use those titles. See, for instance, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34096464 | ||

> a) titles, and b) whom may use those titles We had a German acquaintance who has registered with the bank here as Dr. Jane Doe and ran into issues because Dr. appeared nowhere on her ID. The funny part is that she emigrated from Eastern Europe during her 30s, but was somehow brainwashed by German culture. Whenever I see someone obsessively listing their title I'm reminded of her story. | ||
