Thread 106345001

Looking to move from Canada once I graduate (dual citizenship). Things are beyond fucked here with 1k+ applicants for any job in 30 minutes. Will end up with one internship.

Same if not worse.

Britbongland isn't much better. Plus unless you move to a rural, white area, you have to deal with nonwhites and crimes, especially if you're a /g/fag (visibly unfit and carrying expensive kit).

our salaries are poverty level. housing is expensive and shit (think 500 square feet apartments or 1000 sq ft houses with 3 "bedrooms")
if you insist, stay away from london and go somewhere in the southeast, and find remote work for an american company

49k GBP is 100k CAD, which is higher than the wages here. The UK is also cheaper. Don't be swayed too much by the USA wages, outside of FAANG they aren't really getting paid that much. And FAANG is getting replaced by H1Bs.

>>106345707
The US FAANG job market is not really how it works outside. The employment/office model FAANGs use ex-US is based around low headcount, high-specialism, so it's 1000x harder to get those jobs compared to a US citizen, a cheap H1B or a Canadian with a TN work visa. When it comes to FAANG outside of developing economies, you are competing with 99% of the world for the jobs due to easy skilled immigration, and there are substantially less of the, with significantly higher job requirements. You should assume that unless you're extremely skilled or extremely lucky, you won't be getting paid anything close to what some American doing FAANG CRUD apps are making.

>>106345589
That's high here unless you work at FAANG or in finance. Most devs are probably high 30s, low 40s. In London finance and big tech people are across the board earning low 6 figures which skews the numbers.

>>106345001 (OP)
Absolute no hope. Even went from CS to engineering for any job prospect, and there is absolutely none.

>>106345589

That's a great salary if you actually live there. The hidden costs of living in US really can't be understated.

>Most devs are probably high 30s, low 40s.
that's grim. i earn £110k doing typescript for a UK subsidiary of a US company. i think i got really lucky since they based salaries off the US values

>>106345898
Good rule of thumb if you're a London britbong is add 20% to the USD value of your salary to get a good rough idea of what would be equivalent for QoL in a US metro, taking into account taxes, rent difference, health costs etc. (assuming you don't have perma-AIDs)

>>106345905
That's the way to go if you aren't top 0.1% here. Easiest way to make bank, but even those roles are limited so it's still heavily luck oriented. It's made even worse by how much more credentialist US companies tend to behave in the UK than they do at home.

In all honesty, most USians working at FAANGs probably wouldn't pull it off had they been born in the UK for example. They'd probably be working some shitty BAE or government job on <40k a year. Not because they're unskilled, but because they simply wouldn't be able to win out in competition. They don't like to hear this though. Most britbongs don't have enough experience with the international tech market to understand this either...

what job market? the country is done
