it means you’ll be expected to work 65+ hours a week but also you’ll have to go through bureaucratic hell to get a confluence account, resharper licence etc

belfast is a tiny market but it’s absurdly cheap to live in and you get about 3/4 of what you’d make in london, so it depends on whether it’s worth it to be in a backwards shithole of a region

our lead architect’s interviews are terrible, like 60-70% is on c# trivia and minutiae. extension methods, null propagation, pattern matching, that kind of thing. the kind of poo poo that a competent mostly-java dev could be shown twice and remember, but flame out spectacularly on an interview
