Don't attribute to malice what can reasonably be attributed to incompetence. Someone hosed up, ask them what happened and they'll more than likely fix it really quickly. No one wants to deal with DOL.

How's that even a question?  There are only upsides with going with option C. Paying people a decent wage is a huge part of getting people to stick around. Offering higher than what they asked for is a big plus and as you already mentioned, doesn't affect your budget anyway. It also short-circuits that onerous and dumb pay negotiation game before it starts, which is cool and good.

People don't quit jobs, they quit bad managers  My manager commented on how happy I was at work today ... I guess he'll figure out why when I tender my resignation next week

I booked a "followup meeting" with my manager today, for Monday at noon, with no agenda.

Magnetic North posted:Why have a face to face meeting? Is it just to make them squirm? Or is it a business courtesy thing? I want to deliver it in person, and get right on planning for a cordial handover of projects and tasks. Let's say 90% business courtesy / 10% to make them squirm

Not really an exit interview as such, but I had that meeting with my manager today, where I handed him my resignation and we talked about project handovers, knowledge transfer etc for a bit, as well as some (good-natured) griping on his part for our main customer "poaching" me. 10/10 would do it that way again. As an addendum - the notice period over here in  is generally 3 months, so it's not like I could have just walked out afterwards, even though I really want to get this poo poo over with so I can start at my new job

Not sure why you would voluntarily move to the UK. Especially not post-brexit.

That's (imho) a pretty big red flag, unless it's public service. But they tend to pay rather poorly so I guess it's not

Not everyone ITT lives and works in the US. Some places actually have proper labour laws, that protect workers from being exploited

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:Edit: the US generally is a good deal for 10%ers roughly because you actually get pretty good benefits along with your relatively high salaries. Worker protections do suck but everything else is fairly good. As long as you stay in that 10%, and you play your cards right with investments/savings and whatnot - and more importantly - don't develop any debilitating health issues that you can't get fixed easily, you're good. For someone like me, who's born and raised in and already in the top ~10% of earners here, there's very little incentive to move to a country that's actively worse on almost all metrics, for an uncertain (but probably bigger) paycheck.

Hotel Kpro posted:As much as I’d like to move somewhere not in the US I don’t think I could get away with not knowing Norwegian in Norway Lots of IT companies use English as a working language, so that's not an immediate showstopper. You would have to learn the language to get permanent residency, though.
