Valeyard posted:ive been telling recruiters i want 80k, some of them dont sniff, others have told me its unlikely with only my 2 years of experience No loving chance you're getting £80k in London unless you're a technical lead. 2 years should expect no more than 45k imho.

pointsofdata posted:You can get a lot more than that with 2 years experience if you're happy to work for the financial industry I worked in finance (financial research software company, billion dollars but not a bank) and that was the wage for people with several years exp. I actually knew a guy earning 100k but he was VP in a quant research role at HSBC. Not sure where people are getting these six figure GBP salaries from, I suspect they've never actually worked in London.

All I'm saying is when the IRL recruiter is telling you it's not going to happen, and the guy who worked a long time in London in finance is telling you it's not going to happen, and the only person telling you it can happen is the guy who thinks it takes over an hour to get from zone 4 to zone 1 on the tube, it should be pretty clear cut that the UK sucks overall for salaries.

jre posted:I'm basing the London salaries I posted on what the company I work for pays the members of my team in London, and on the market salary review for other companies in the sector I've seen. Maybe you're right, I wonder what an A-list company, say Amazon, pays an engineer in London. Let's have a look then: SDE I: £38-49k, average £42k SDE II: £44k-67k, average £56k SSDE: £52k-97, average £81k Welp. But sure it's "easy" to get £80k+ as a freaking noob in London because. Lol.

One company I interviewed at was really open to feedback on the interview and honestly even though I didn't get the job, I respected them a lot for it. The homework was way too thorough and I outright told them, and they honestly hadn't realised because at the end of the day it was based around their use cases which they are very familiar with and hence a bit blinded by their own experience.

The whole point of glassdoor is to identify the good companies from the cowboys, and it's really useful in that regard. It's useless if nobody ever posts negative critique because they are scared some HR type is going to go all Sherlock on their post. If you don't want to post then don't, who cares. It's nice to let the general public know who are the cunts and who aren't though.

The major thing that frustrates me about h1b is that you've only got a 30% shot at actually getting the visa, even if you get a great job offer. 70% of the visas go to like two or three Indian outsourcing companies because it seems like they have the money and people to files hundreds of thousands of applications a year.

eschaton posted:there are plenty of US companies that have a significant development presence in Canada, not least because it can be easier (or more desirable) for some of the people they want to hire to get a Canadian visa than a US one The real reason companies hire in Vancouver is because salary is vastly cheaper and yeah getting a visa is infinitely easier. Getting a working holiday is easy for a Brit, but the conditions are different depending on the country. Like in Canada you can work wherever for however long up to 2 years (as long as you don't work in the sex industry), but for Australia I hear you can't be at one job for too long and you're supposed to move around. Getting Permanent residence in Canada is commonwealth independent and being a Brit won't help him. qhat fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Jan 21, 2018 |

didn't someone say that not responding to a recruiter on linkedin is bad for the recruiter is because any response, even a "sorry no thanks", counts the message as a relevant communication? because i think i've been unconsciously owning recruiters for the past 5 years.

Out of curiosity because someone mentioned it earlier, I looked at what a machine learning PhD gets funded at UBC Vancouver. The answer is 24k Canadian dollars a year. Lol. I knew PhD was basically slave labour, but dang that's feudal. I have a better idea though, send out h1b applications to the bay area every year for 5 years and eventually get a job that pays hundreds of thousands.

Tbh a lot of permanent residence is similar. In Canada you become ineligible for citizenship for another 3 years if you leave for >6 months and you can lose PR entirely if you leave for more than 3 years. Not as bad as the USA, but citizenship isn't something countries give out lightly.
