ive been telling recruiters i want 80k, some of them dont sniff, others have told me its unlikely with only my 2 years of experience  honestly i would rather just get a higher paying job in glasgow, but im probably already working for the best company i can be, so it would need to be a move to somewhere else with the view of going back to current job eventually

i got like a 19% payrise last week, and 16% bonus, but still feel pretty underpaid i wonder what H1B options are available these days, might be interesting to go work in the us for a year or two while ive got no hard ties here yet always seemed like amazon was the best way to go for foreigners wanting to work in usa tech

Emacs Headroom posted:amazon has a comp structure designed almost entirely to lock you in -- big bonus and of first year, no stock until your cliff at year 2 yeah, i would already be locked in. I have heard some horror stories on amazon but I am not sure how willing (in comparison) other places are to sponsor visas

eschaton posted:there are plenty of US companies that have a significant development presence in Canada, not least because it can be easier (or more desirable) for some of the people they want to hire to get a Canadian visa than a US one i have some family that are canadian but unfortunately too far removed to actually be useful in getting a canadian passport (already looked into that), but immigrating to canada wouldnt be out of the question at all. i love the cold and the poutine lol but yeah, not out of the question ughh australia, no thanks though

qhat posted:When I got my degree ten years ago in the UK tuition was only £3k/year, even if you went to Oxbridge. So if you did 4 years you leave uni with a total of £28k ish in debt (also factoring in maintenance loans) with 0.9% interest. Now I hear it's roughly £70k at 6.1% interest lol. Sucks to be a centennial. But paying off that kind of loan aggressively is single handedly the best investment decision you can ever make. interest on student loans is still like 1% in scotland, thanks to free tuition i thnink ive only got like 3k in debt left, should be done this year

im happy at current job, but still think im underpaid for all the stuff i do and how well i do it (compared to others around me) i already know from experience than i am better than a lot of people ive worked with that have 3/4/5 times the experience i do main problem is convincing other people of this in an interview scenario

I'm doing a tech test for a company here, it's very simple, about an hour of work. Assuming all goes well I'm planning on asking for a base salary bump to the equivalent of 40% higher than I'm on just now, although I won't be telling them a percentage. Should I ask for 50% instead? Is this too high, too low? I can't double my salary here unless I moved to London, then it would be possible. Or if I done contract work here or London

gonadic io posted:This is exactly why you shouldn't give a number. If you ask for 50 and they can only do 40 they'll tell you and you'll get 40. Thankfully I haven't told the company any numbers yet, but when the recruiter hit me up (random recruiter, not internal to the company) I did give him some rough figure about what I was looking for. Hopefully this should be ok, if I actually get an offer from the company then i will let them pitch at me first

gonadic io posted:Sorry this breaks down a bit through external recruiters. They will 100% lowball you to the company and even if you refuse to give them a number they'll make up a low one for you. gently caress external recruiters. Hoowfully it works out, I told the external recruiter a pretty high number and he said "they should have the budget for that", for comparison i have told the same number to many other rando external recruiters and they tell me to politely gently caress off

HoboMan posted:sanity check you kind of said why a web app is better than a desktop app what they are getting at (i think) is why a single page application (your server probably only has 1 url route defined to index html, this loads your single page app, the rest of the routing is handled by your javascript app on the front end and page transitions are just ajax calls and front end changes, its not *really* changing to a new page, no additional server side rendering) is better than a traditional web app (like something awful, where every new page is being rendered and delivered by the server instead)
