I'm a European under 50 :) I agree it's not common, but not unheard of.

(Not the OP) Is that so surprising? My wife and I waited until marriage.

As incompetently as the government is handling it, I suspect it won't be too bad in the end.

This topic came up in another thread. I'm curious to hear what UK based devs are planning to do because of Brexit? Are you looking abroad? Or think it won't be a big deal? I'm an i…

Ok, it sounds like you've thought things through and best of luck with it.

Haha! Oh right. I'm an immigrant in the UK myself. Curious as to why the natives would leave :)

Sucks for your situation. One question though (I'm sure you've heard before)... > For her to move to the UK requires her to meet income requirements of £18,600 per year What about …

How long until they abandon this one?

It's like that old Vulcan proverb "Only Nixon could go to China."

It's the Guardian. They have a serious axe to grind with SV/tech in general. Their bias in this area is laughable but gotta play to the home crowd I guess.

> filthy 'kitchens' Where are you getting that from? I know lots of people who've worked there and the stories of the over-the-top cleaning were constant from all.

I doubt anyone has ever based a decision to go to 'Spoons on what they saw on social media.

There's some interesting reading around this that essentially the Saudi's financed Pakistan's nukes in a deal where they can effectively get them under their control in no time sho…

You should come to work in Europe/the Uk then. Being a Christian/religious is most definitely to be the odd one out and invite "comments".

The idea of "take home tests" for an interview is utterly bizarre to me. Thankfully I've never heard of it my parts, seems to be a mainly US thing?

> Also, contact your local EU parliament member and politely explain why this is good... The constituency I last voted in has 3 MEPs for a population of 900,000... I'd be amazed to…

> see, those are the exact sort of questions, and answers, that you are prepared to provide. and you're probably pretty good at it! Thank you, but it really has been a recent thing…

What did you invest in? If a 1.2% swing (over how long of a period?) spooked you then you probably want a heavy bond to equity fund/balance.

The Guardian and tax avoidence goes hand in hand. The Guardian Media Group is based in the Cayman Islands and notably used the tax haven to avoid paying any tax on the £302 million…

It's funny. Years ago I wanted to move to the US, but I hadn't a chance. I have a degree and masters and years work but beyond getting an American company to sponsor me, no joy. I'…

Well, I pay significantly more on my insurance purely because I'm a man.

And in true Google style I expect them to slowly ignore it and then drop the program, leaving anyone who invested in it high and dry.
