Very cool on the transparency! I was surprised to see Spain (all one bucket) has higher salaries on your calculator than places like Edinburgh.

> I'm almost 50, and to me the image of boys playing conkers only comes from books or TV based in early 1900s UK. I've never actually seen anyone play it. Did you grow up in a city…

Yup, I found my current company (Sourcegraph) through a hiring thread!

It reaches 0C inside?

The dollar hasn't had a roughly constant value across time, perhaps on short time periods.

At the current point no, if we hit anything like 1% or above infected in a single country then yes we'll probably see that.

If European countries could keep the number of infections low I imagine the death rate would stay low, the issue is going to be when hospitals are saturated.

We're going to see the same in Spain, from 50 to 500 plus cases in a week but still a very relaxed attitude. Spain ought to learn from China/Italy/S Korea and lock stuff down now. …

Oh for sure, Monzo and Starling I've heard very good things of. Revolut doesn't have a banking license so hesitant to include them here.

As a customer of N26 and Natwest/Barclays I feel that N26 in my experience has won in every category. Superior support when I need it on demand, the tech and apps seems solid, intu…

If company X moved 17% how much % do you think you potentially left on the table?

They are one data point and imo too low. Six years ago in Barcelona as a senior engineer the bands were 50-80k euros. Now the top end engineers (think team lead) top out around 100…

It really depends on where you are based and if you are wanting remote or not? If you're in a major metro area like NYC/SF/London etc then I'd suggest Java/Scala/C++. If you want r…

This is a great thread idea, I hope it gets upvoted a ton and some interesting opportunities are available!

We use Solr heavily at https://www.helpscout.com/ , it really powers a ton of our functionality.

Brb while I move to Vatican city, I look forward to my salary going up significantly.

I'd bet the inverse, folks pulling in the huge compensation packets have no reason to want to advertise this via a self reported site.

So obviously this is from a lightning fast google but I saw figures putting m2 of property prices away from the center of cities being $3.4k. That combined with what a 50% tax rate…

Would you compensate them either with time or money for it? I think think if you know it'll take 'employees' that are contractors a certain amount of time and expenses each month t…

In my experience most humans fall into category number one.

Still offers greater upside on salary/income progression.

Do you consider Bitcoin to be a perpetual ponzi scheme?

I believe the poster was meaning that the UK press is insular and doesn't report on wider European issues like the Spanish press and not commenting on Catalonia or making a compari…

Whilst half joking I've had children around this age and I don' claim to be a genius but the time afforded to technical exploration and learning has dropped significantly while the…
